   if u look into the stdio.h the prototype for rand() is as follows :-

/* Return a random integer between 0 and RAND_MAX inclusive.  */
extern int rand (void) __THROW; 

and prototype of random() is as follows :-

/* Return a random long integer between 0 and RAND_MAX inclusive.  */
extern int32_t random (void) __THROW; 


mehul.
