random number generator, c++

Can anyone see why this always shows the random number as 99?

PHP Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>

int main(){
    int x = 1;
    int y = 99;
    std::cout << "A random number between " << x << " and " << y << " is: " << rand()%x+y;
    return 0;
}

You need to seed it:

srand(time(NULL))

Be sure to include time.h

Try rand()%(x+y). It will work better!

Thanks Not only did the (x+y) work better, but it was the only way it would work
