Hello,

I'm writing a program that requires that I generate random numbers. I'm
using the C rand()function. I want to use the system clock as a seed
for the function.

How do I read the system clock in Windows?

time()

(Please
state any libraries I'm going to need etc).

The standard library, which is linked in by default so you don't need to
worry about it.

But the OP should be concerned about including the correct header.
