Uuuh, sorry. I forgot that my code is obvious... to me. :)
Here's an example call:

int i[2];

i[0] = x;
i[1] = y;
terrain.elevation = (int)(150*irand(2, i));


(of course, the last is not quite honest, since you need to substitute that
line with fractal noise generator. Look into my renderer at
ftp://maja.zesio.fer.hr/pub/tools/graphics/sart)

Another notice, irand works with n-dimensional noise fields. The first
parameter is the number of dimensions (you want 2), and the other is
pointer to the vector of integer coordinates. Hope this helps. :)
