Idiom #70 Use clock as random generator seed

Get the current datetime and provide it as a seed to a random generator. The generator sequence will be different at each run.

Random.new

Don't use time for seeding. Just use the initializer without any arguments.
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
srand((unsigned)time(0));
