   #include <stdio.h>
   #include <time.h>
   int main()
     {
        srand(time(NULL));
        int i = rand() % 5 ;
        printf("Random number between 0 and 5 is:: %d ", i );
        return 0;
     }

Result:
    Random number between 0 and 5 is:: 1

In the above example srand() function returns random numbers between 0 and 5.
