Modified like this:
   
  rand(max)

      Returns a random integer number greater than or equal to 0 and
      less than the value of max. (max should be positive.)
      Automatically calls srand unless srand() has already been
      called.

      If max is 0, rand returns a random float number greater than or
      equal to 0 and less than 1.
