#include<cstlib> //header file for the rand and srand fucntions

The "seed" is a starting point for the sequence and the guarantee is that if you start from the same seed you will get the same sequence of numbers.

//Decalare a variable to be used as a seed.
int seed; //variable name seed is declared
//Prompt user to enter a seed
cout<<"Enter a seed variable "<< endl;
cin >> seed; 
//Assign the declared variable "seed" to be a seed for the random number generator. 
srand(seed);
//Using the system's clock as a seed. 

#include<ctime> //header file for the time function. 
srand(time(0));
