random function in loops

[syntheticdesigner]

I hope someone could correct this simple excerpt
since I fail to see how I can make rand() function works
in a loop manner

/////////////////////////////////
srand(time(NULL));
int r1=rand()%10+1;
for(int o=0;o<r1;++o){
int r2=rand()%10+1;
for(int p=0;p<r2;++p)
{
put_to_array[o][p]=rand()%10;
}
}
////////////////////////////////

when I call the function having this code excerpt,
a row of the 2d matrix put_to_array[][]
always has the same elements as others

i.e

1 2 4 5
1 2 4 5
1 2 4 5

Thanks

You must be outputting it wrong. The output of one run of the following
program for me is:

9 9 2 6 0 8 0 6 8 0 0 0
9 1 4 7 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0
6 5 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
5 9 6 0 3 9 8 0 3 1 0 0
7 0 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
8 7 4 4 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0
8 6 7 4 9 8 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>

int main()
{
int put_to_array[12][12] = {0};

std::srand(std::time(NULL));
int r1 = std::rand()%10+1;
for(int o=0;o<r1;++o){
int r2 = std::rand()%10+1;
for(int p=0;p<r2;++p)
{
put_to_array[o][p] = std::rand()%10;
}
}

for ( int i = 0; i < 12; ++i )
{
for ( int j = 0; j < 12; ++j )
std::cout << put_to_array[j] << " ";
std::cout << "\n";
}
std::cout << "\n";


return 0;
}

Please post a complete, minimal program that demonstrates the problem.

This has been a recording.

srand(time(NULL));
int r1=rand()%10+1;
for(int o=0;o<r1;++o){
int r2=rand()%10+1;
for(int p=0;p<r2;++p)
{
put_to_array[o][p]=rand()%10;
}}

Perhaps the function is running so fast that
time(NULL) is the same each time, meaning you
get the same random numbers.

You are only supposed to call srand(time(NULL))
once per program run.
