You need to under the concept and definition of function and you must visualize how does it work.
Before going to srand, try to see subset of it, its rand
1. rand -- provide random number generator (as its int, so range falls under 0 - 32767
2. srand - its "seed"random number - that means used to set the starting value (seed), for generating. So, its set seed(1) as default and on top of it rand() generates random number between seed and range <32 ,767>
3. Time - is every changing at every second, just think if you are sending current time vallue as seed -> to srand (which initializes) -> inturn -> rand() get calls. Now, the range of random generation number is less.
4. So instead of some static integer , as end user we want to supply, make use of the computer's internal clock to controlthe choice of the seed.

Hope it helps.

Why does execution of a program in C/C++/Java start from only main?
Main function is calling the other functions of he program and compiler gets this direction while Compiling the code. If it does not find main function then it will also not find the other functions in the code. So, main is required in C program.
