Quick Question

[Outerblob]

Is there a function that randomly shuffles up an array?
Say I make a char array with the alphabet in it, and I want it to randomly print Letters from the char array. Thanks!

What do you don't understand? Post more specific question(s).

I can't understand how the code works, and what the syntax means.
I'm still learning things.

ok, this should get you started :

#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>

int main() {

    char alphabet[26];
    for ( int i = 0; i < 26; ++i )
        alphabet[i] = i + 'a';

    std::random_shuffle(alphabet, alphabet+26);

    for ( int i = 0; i < 26; ++i )
        std::cout << alphabet[i] << ' ';

    return 0;
}

EDIT : edited a typo in code

You mean

std::random_shuffle( alphabet, alphabet + 26 );
