unique numbers using srand( ) and rand( ) functions in C++

[August1]

This is a follow up to using these functions to produce lottery
numbers to an outfile, then read the numbers from the file to the
screen. Although other methods are certainly available.

//Loop for the six Lotto numbers
for(int i=0;i<6
{
randomNum=rand(); //assigns random # from 0-32767

//Converts to 1-MAX (upperbound limit)
numArr=(randomNum-(((int)(((float)randomNum)/((float)MAX)))*MAX))+1;
