Random Chars/Words

[Shay9999]

Okay, I'm pretty sure this subject has been talked over before, but can anyone tell me how to make a random word generator. For example:

string Word%rand(pie, cake, crusts);

I don't know, that was just a guess. Please help if you can, thanks.

string list[] = {"pie", "cake", "crusts"};
cout << list[ rand()%3 ];

Thank you <3

Okay, so how do I do this now:

string list[] = {"pie", "cake", "crusts"};
cout << list[ rand()%3 ];

if (list[] == "cake")
{
//stuff
}

Because when I do this it comes back with this error:

expected primary-expression before ']' token

and without the [] I get:

comparison between distinct pointer types `std::string*' and `const char*' lacks a cast

and I don't know what they mean >_< any ideas?

Nevermind, did it a different way:

list2 = list[rand ()%3];
if (list2 == "cake")
{
}
