Ising Model in C++

I'm writing a code in C++ for a 2D Ising model. Here's what the code should do:

1. Generate random NxN lattice, with each site either +1 or -1 value.

2. Select a site at random

3. If site when flipped (+1 to -1 or -1 to +1) is a state of lower energy, flip state ie. if dE < 0, flip state. If flipped state is of higher energy, flip with acceptance rate w = e^{-b(dE)}. Where dE is the change in energy if state is flipped. 4.Do this for all NxN sites, without repetition. This is considered one sweep.

4. Do like 100 sweeps.

I'm having trouble with steps 2 and 3, would appreciate any help!
