Lottery Generator

The for loop in randomNumber should work for your needs. Then, compare each element in user[] and lottery[], and see if they're equal.

Oh... by the way... your code won't work as expected.

I got it to work. Can you please look it over? Thanks.

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;

//Function Prototypes
void getUserNumber(int [], int);
void randomNumber(int [], int);

int main()
{

	const int SIZE = 5;
	int user[SIZE];
	int lottery[SIZE];

	//Get user numbers
	getUserNumber(user, SIZE);
	cout << "User Numbers: \n";
	for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
		{
			cout << user[i] << " ";
		}
	//Get lottery numbers
	cout << "\n\n";
	cout << "Lottery Numbers: \n";
	randomNumber(lottery, SIZE);
	cout << "\n";

	//Check for Grand Prize Winner
	for (int x = 0; x < 1; x++)
	{
		if (user[x] == lottery[x])
			cout << "You are the Grand Prize Winner!!!";
		else
			cout << "I'm sorry you are not a winner.  Thank you for playing\n";
		}
	
	return 0;
}

void randomNumber(int lottery[], int size)
{
	srand((unsigned)time(0));

	for (int number = 0; number < size; number++)
	{
		lottery[number] = 1 + rand() % 9;
		cout << lottery[number] << " ";
	}
	 
}

void getUserNumber(int user[], int size)
{
	
	//Get user numbers
	for (int userNum = 0; userNum < size; userNum++)
		{
			cout << "Enter your numbers " << (userNum + 1) << ": ";
			cin >> user[userNum];
		}

}

Check your functions. They will not do anything to lottery and user's values in main.

Look at your for loop:

for (int x = 0; x < 1; x++)
	{
		if (user[x] == lottery[x])
			cout << "You are the Grand Prize Winner!!!";
		else
			cout << "I'm sorry you are not a winner.  Thank you for playing\n";
	}

As it stands, it only checks the first number in the sequence. Is this what you intend?

@Albatross, I compiled and ran his code, it seems that the users and lottery's values have changed in main... Why do you think this will not happen?
