C++ - rand() function not working, numbers do not go above 32,000

Question

I am trying to create random numbers from 0 to around 200,000, however the values do not go above 33,000. Even if I try a different value they still do not go above 33k. I tried to seed and still nothing. Did I miss something when I learned about this function? Thanks.

srand(time(0));
for (int count = 190000; count < 200000; count++)
    cout << rand() % 200001 << " ";

Answer 1

Make your range of values independent of the range of values rand() returns.

int getMyRandomNumber()
{
    static int MY_RANGE_MAX = 200001;
    return (1.0*rand()/RAND_MAX)*MY_RANGE_MAX;
}

and use it as:

for (int count = 190000; count < 200000; count++)
    cout << getMyRandomNumber() << " ";
