    copied!<p>I made a simple program that allows the user to pick a number of dice then guess the outcome... I posted this code before but with the wrong question so it was deleted... now I cannot have any errors or even warnings on this code but for some reason this warning keeps popping and I have no clue how to fix it... <strong>"warning C4244: 'argument' : conversion from 'time_t' to 'unsigned int', possible loss of data"</strong></p> <pre><code>#include &lt;iostream&gt; #include &lt;string&gt; #include &lt;cstdlib&gt; #include &lt;time.h&gt; using namespace std; int choice, dice, random; int main(){ string decision; srand ( time(NULL) ); while(decision != "no" || decision != "No") { std::cout &lt;&lt; "how many dice would you like to use? "; std::cin &gt;&gt; dice; std::cout &lt;&lt; "guess what number was thrown: "; std::cin &gt;&gt; choice; for(int i=0; i&lt;dice;i++){ random = rand() % 6 + 1; } if( choice == random){ std::cout &lt;&lt; "Congratulations, you got it right! \n"; std::cout &lt;&lt; "Want to try again?(Yes/No) "; std::cin &gt;&gt; decision; } else{ std::cout &lt;&lt; "Sorry, the number was " &lt;&lt; random &lt;&lt; "... better luck next time \n" ; std::cout &lt;&lt; "Want to try again?(Yes/No) "; std::cin &gt;&gt; decision; } } std::cout &lt;&lt; "Press ENTER to continue..."; std::cin.ignore( std::numeric_limits&lt;std::streamsize&gt;::max(), '\n' ); return 0; } </code></pre> <p>This is what I am trying to figure out, why am I getting this warning: warning C4244: 'argument' : conversion from 'time_t' to 'unsigned int', possible loss of data</p>
