simple generating letters program
Aug 19, 2012 at 6:31pm UTC
Ok so I'm trying to make a program that outputs 100 random lowercase letters in rows of 10. I got this far below, but the program keeps outputting only a bunch of ones or twos. Can you guys help me? thanks
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
void randomgen(char ch1, char ch2)
{
for (int i = 1; i <= 100; i++)
{
cout << static_cast <char >('ch1' + rand() % ('ch2' - 'ch1' + 1));
cout << " " ;
if (i % 10 == 0)
{
cout << endl;
}
}
}
int main()
{
char a, z;
randomgen(a, z);
return 0;
}

¿Do you understand the difference between a bottle and the beer that's inside?
1 2
char a, z; //these are variables, ¿what's their value? garbage
randomgen(a, z);
Do one thing and do it right.
char randomgen(char low, char high); //returns 1 random value between low and high
Then use that function in a loop.
