Generate a list of random numbers

[Gather]

Hello everyone.
I am having some issues with my homework assigment. they are asking me to generate a list of random numbers; no more than 50 (range 1-10). The user(s) need to specify how many he wants in the list. I tried using an array, but it didn't work out as i expected.

Any clue or help would be well appreciated. :D

Sorry, we're not mind readers. We have no clue what you tried. If you want to show us some code, we'll be happy to comment on it.

Try using


// random numbers.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"
# include <iostream>
# include <ctime>
using namespace std;

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
int number;

srand(50);
//sets the numbers to 50

cout<<"What is the range of numbers you would like to use?"<<endl;
cin>>number;
cin.ignore();

cout<<"The numbers are:"<<endl;

for(int i=1;i<50; i++)
{
cout<<rand()%number<<endl;
// number is used to represent the range
}
cin.get();
return 0;
}

This is what I have so far:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
const int SIZE = 50;
int Append[SIZE];
for (int &val : Append)
{
cout << " How many random numbers : ";
cin >>val;
for (int val : Append)
cout << val << endl;


system("pause");
return 0;

The output of this code gives me 50 random numbers instead of the specific amount that I specify. :l

When posting code, please use code tags. Highlight the code and click the <> button to the right of the edit window. This shows the code with line numbers and syntax highlighting.

Here is your code with tags and indented to reflect the structure:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    const int SIZE = 50;
    int Append[SIZE];
    for (int &val : Append)
        {
            cout << " How many random numbers : ";
            cin >>val;
            for (int val : Append)
                cout << val << endl;


            system("pause");
            return 0;

Notice that the code that prompts for the number of random numbers (lines 11-12) are inside a for loop. You don't want to prompt 50 times, so that's not right. I suggest that you just remove the loop at lines 9-10.

You are also using "val" for two different things: is it the number of random numbers, or is it an individual random number? You need two different variables to represent these two different concepts.
