// Generates and prints 'count' random numbers in range [lower, upper].

void printRandoms(int lower, int upper, int count)
{
    int i;
    for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
        int num = (rand() % (upper - lower + 1)) + lower;
        printf("%d", num);

    }
}

int main()
{
    int lower = 5, upper = 7, count = 5;

    srand(time(0));

    printRandoms(lower, upper, count);

    return 0;

This is the main program that I'm trying to turn the random number into a variable for

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>



int yourGuess;
int guessesMade = 0;
int totalNumberOfGuesses = 3;
int outOfGuesses = 0;

int main()
{

void printRandoms(int lower, int upper, int count)
{
    int i;
    for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
        int num = (rand() % (upper - lower + 1)) + lower;
    }

}

int lower = 5, upper = 7, count = 1;
srand(time(0));

printRandoms(lower, upper, count);

int correctNumber = num;

while(yourGuess != correctNumber && outOfGuesses == 0) {
    if(guessesMade < totalNumberOfGuesses) {
        printf("Guess the correct number: ");
        scanf("%d", &yourGuess);
        guessesMade++;
    } else {
        outOfGuesses = 1;
        }
    }
    if (guessesMade == totalNumberOfGuesses) {
        printf("Sorry, but you have run out of guesses. You lose!");
    } else {
        printf("You guessed the correct number! You win!");
    }
    return 0;
}
#

And here's what the main program looked like before I modified it

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int currentGuess;
int correctNumber = 18;
int totalNumberOfGuesses = 3;
int guessesMade = 0;
int outOfGuesses = 0;

int main(){

while (currentGuess != correctNumber && outOfGuesses == 0){
    if(guessesMade < totalNumberOfGuesses){
        printf("Hello! Please choose a number between 1 and 25: \n");
        scanf("%d", &currentGuess);
        guessesMade++;
    } else {
        outOfGuesses = 1;
        }
    }
    if(outOfGuesses == 1){
        printf("Sorry, you have run out of attempts. The correct number is: %d. You lose.", correctNumber);
    } else {
        printf("Congratulations, you have guessed the correct number. You win!");
        }

    return 0;
}

Random is more secure but slower
