	#include <stdlib.h>
	long int random(void);
 	rand() ---> number (0...RAND_MAX)
	RAND_MAX = defined number in math.h or stdlib.h
      
        #include <stdlib.h>
        int rand(void);

	RAND_MAX = defined number in math.h or stdlib.h
 
	rand()===random()
	randomize(); It's a macro for initialize seek;
