bring back random statements from vector?

[russeld]

i am a beginner. I want to create a program that every time you run brings back a different statement from an array or vector. I want to have about 100 of them. How would i do this?

well, get a random number 'i = rand() % number_of_elements'
then access an element of array/vector with 'my_array[i]'

Or you can use the random_shuffle() algorithm to randomize the vector or array. That's most efficient for returning the entire vector in random order and is useful when you want to return each element only once.
