## Random Number Generation
Randomness is important for programming languages to get right. Here is how V
implements randomness:
```
module rand
#include <time.h>
// #include <stdlib.h>
fn seed() {
# time_t t;
# srand((unsigned) time(&t));
}
fn next(max int) int {
# return rand() % max;
return 0
}
```
I mean I guess this is technically a valid implementation of randomness, but
this is how you get security vulnerabilities because people
[thought random values were random](https://www.rapid7.com/db/vulnerabilities/openssl-debian-weak-keys).
A correct implementation is commented out. Yay.
