C++ Programming By Example - Coding a Virtual Die – Generating Random Numbers

The video tutorial covers the basics of generating random numbers in C, focusing on pseudo-random number generation. It explains the difference between normal and uniform probability distributions, emphasizing the use of uniform distribution for creating a virtual die. The tutorial introduces cppreference as a resource for C documentation and demonstrates how to implement random number generation in C using the uniform int distribution class. The process involves setting up a project in Visual Studio, including necessary headers, and coding a simple application to simulate a virtual die roll.
