rand() giving same number every time

[sturdy glacier]

every time I run the following code:

#include <ctime>

int rolldie(){
  srand(time(NULL));
  int x;
  return random()%6;
}

int calcplayersroll(int roundnumber){
  int running_score = 0;
  int die = rolldie();
  int die2 = rolldie();
  int die3 = rolldie();
  std::cout << die << "\n";
  std::cout << die2 << "\n";
  std:: cout << die3 << "\n";```
it gives the same number all three times, different each time I run the code
does anyone know how to make it give different numbers each time

The iterations happen too quickly for the time to change to the next value. Use srand() only once at the beginning instead of doing it on each iteration.
