Changing random() output to ordered/fixed outputs...

I found some source code online and I found it quite good, so I decided to base my project on the source code. But I'm in a problem. I'm a noob at C++ so I'm having a little difficulty. :)

here's the code:

I was wondering if I could make the program choose responses in descending order instead of random. heres what I mean:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
int nSelection = rand() % responses.size();
			sResponse = responses[nSelection];

			
			if(sResponse == sPreviousResponse) 
			{
				responses.erase(responses.begin() + nSelection);
				nSelection = rand() % responses.size();
				sResponse = responses[nSelection];
			}
			std::cout << sResponse << std::endl;


And I was also wondering if I could integrate a loop function so that all the text outputted, looks like its is being typed, something along lines of this:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
#include <windows.h>

using namespace std;

void z() {Sleep(40);}

char x[] = "HELLO WORLD!\0";
int main(){

for (int i=0; x[i]!='\0';i++)
{
cout << x[i];
z();
}
getch();
return 0;
}


Thanks!
