Loads of beginners in this thread. Here's how it's done in the industry.

The code:

return a;

The test:

a = rand()%100+1;

It works, boss.

This must be a custom random function, because it's standard for random to return a float between 0-1 exclusive. Maybe you meant to multiply by 100 instead of modulo.
