HEre. Note that rand implementation is different on different compilers, so you might not see same results on other machines.

im trying to make it work on my machine, (CodeBlocks). . after the 6th input, it gets a runtime error.

after the 6th input

Your array can handle only 6 items. Trying to input more leads to undefined behavior.

yeah thats what i meant. what should i do? urgh, my head is about to explode, i need too finish this one up and another one involving a dictionary. dammit. thanks for the help though bud, i really appreciate it.

1) Increase array size
2) Use something that automatically grows like vector
3) Read about constraints on possible amount of names in your assigment and change array size acordingly.

we've only learned up to array's so far. i dont think i can use things outside of what we have learned
