Short question

[thedreamshaper]

As a math/econ student i spent most of last year making some pretty neat c++ programs, i mean we did stuff to matrixes wich is illegal in most of the states!

Now i need to implement a simple code to generate random numbers and i am stock, well i do know how to do it but i want to do it another(cooler) way.

I got my hands on ran3 from nummerical recipes but i cant seem to implement it, it is written in a totally different way than what i was taught and i am having problems with some of the libraries even!

any help would be greatly appreciated.

how do i get this to work:
#include "nr.h"

and what does:
using namespace std;
do ?

i am sorry if these seem like triviel questions :)

cheers

nr.h is probably a header included in a CD that comes with the book. Although I'm just guessing.

Ignore the other statement, for the time being.

In the book I'm sure there is source code for nr.h so you go to your solution explorer and add new item into header files as a header file then copy the source of nr.h into that file and you will get it to link. Thats if your using visual studo
