I need to produce 15 random numbers between 1 to 16 without

int i,j;
for(i=0;i<15;i++){
j =random() % 15 +1;
NSLog(@"No: %d => %d \n",i,j);
srandom(time(NULL)+i);
}
But some numbers are repeating.
How can I do it without repeating the numbers?
This isn't really a Cocoa question.
One solution is to add each item to an array. Add an inner loop that
loops through that array each time you generate a new random number to
see if it is already been used, if not then print it - and add it to
the array.
This is probably not the most efficient solution, but should work well
for your requirements.
srandom should probably be called outside your loop. There is no point
initializing the random number generator multiple times like this.
Hope that helps.
