Why does my program keep freezing?

[hellohelloawesome]

I'm just trying to make a little program to help me study.
I would like to have the program to give me a word and allow me to choose the correct answer in a format of choosing the correct number with its definition.

I have substituted things that I haven't yet learned to do, however, I'm tryiing to make the program as random as possible with choosing each word to ask and giving me a list of four answers to choose from having one with the right answer.

The main reason for this post, however, is that the program keeps freezing before the loop occurs. I think this may be due to my array?

Thanks.

For one, your functions multipleChoice and wordGenerator return something of type string, but here don't return anything. Also, you never use multipleAnswers. Also, you included ctime, which would allow for the randomness you require (if need-be, I'll give you my itty-bitty function for a random number). As for your array of strings, it would be easier to confine its size to a SIZE constant which is just however many strings are in your array. That way, when picking a random number, you're already given one over the highest number you can put into the array as to obtain a value.

What I would recommend is to make two arrays. Have one to be for the terms, and the other for definitions. Pick a random number for the definition, and then pick 3 random numbers for the answers, where the fourth is correct. The actual ordering of this is also calculated with random numbers.
