does!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!( inputs are necessary ) .

[iQChange]

Randomize was not declared in this scope. (int main())
cout was not declared in this scope.
iostream.h is deprecated and doesn't exists anymore.
cin was not declared in this scope.
endl was not declared in this scope.
random was not declared in this scope.

I think something is not right.

[dleanjeanz]

Missing using namespace std;

identifier "randomize" is unidentified
identifier "random" is unidentified

[TwilightSpectre]

@iQChange
He appears to be using Borland (or something similar). To fix, you can simply replace <iostream.h> with <iostream>, randomize with srand(time(NULL)), and random with the appropriate statements consisting of rand() and modifiers.

[dleanjeanz]

There should be system("pause"); at the end or something with similar function.
Not properly work. Some column has the same number. Or two columns have the same number.

OPEN FOR ANY SUGESTIONS

Nice.

A possible suggestion, through example:

#include<iostream>
#include<cstdlib>           //Enable srand() and rand();
#include<ctime>             //Enable time() seed;
using std::cout;
using std::cin;
using std::endl;

Your code with slight condensing.

Good Job!

Edit: added a bit of comments to clarify.

That's actually a bad idea.

Same with this:
system("pause");

There has been lots written as to why this is so. Search this forum or the web to see.

Regards

[dleanjeanz]

I know system("pause") is somewhat evil. I've found that cin.get(), getch(), _getch() doesn't work every time. So I think using system("pause") just once doesn't hurt anyone.

[N10]

well i m using borland and really it works on my compiler

i dont really know much about key words like system("pause")
may b coz im not pro yet just started it

[j3Rz8vqX]

system()
Makes calls to your system(command line) to do something. In this case, it would call the pause command; you can test this by going to your command prompt, console, or terminal and enter: pause.

Normally, antivirus programs tend to flag these commands as a virus because it enables, small programs, the scope of the terminal or console; also, "pause" could be infected - though not likely.

In most cases, the below code will be more than enough to suffice for a pause; without calling the console:

1 2 3 4

cout<<"\nPaused: Press enter: "; cin.clear(); cin.ignore(255,'\n'); cin.get();

Paused: Press enter:

[N10]

hey iv e been wondering which compiler do u guys use
the code (the "suggestion") is not working in my compiler

THE NEW C++ 11 N IS NOT WORKING IN BORLAND 4.5

TO
Dput

[Codermik]

I personally use Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate, other common ones people use on here are Code Blocks and Eclipse.

I would use Visual Studio or Eclipse for the simple reason that those two are more widely used in software development houses and being comfortable using them would be an advantage.

You can get a free copy of Visual Studio Express from: http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-express-vs.aspx

Eclipse: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

There are other decent IDE's out there, but for the reasons I explained above you are better off sticking with the more common ones.

[j3Rz8vqX]

@nanduknight10

Your cin.get() may require arguments:
http://www.minich.com/education/wyo/cplusplus/cplusplusch10/getfunction.htm
Example:

#include <iostream.h>

void main()
{
   char line[25];
   cout << " Type a line terminated by carriage return\n>";
   cin.get( line, 25 );
   cout << ' ' << line;
}

This is because Borland 4.5 doesnt work with <iostream> and requires <iostream.h>

iostream to iostream.h:
http://members.gamedev.net/sicrane/articles/iostream.html

I am uncertain about Borland 5.5, I've heard that there is support for <iostream>

[N10]

its 4.5
that might b the reason
