    Exclamation random messages generator?

    i would like to know how to generate random messages for a multiplication program. If the answer is correct the program must generate one of the four correct responses. the same for an incorrect answer. i know that a program can generate random numbers but how I do to generate random messages? thanks..

    pseudo are the best!

    1.create -two -2D arrays with four answers in it, one for correct answer -> with four answers and the a 2nd one for wrong answer -> with four answers in it.
    2.seed -> srand(time(NULL)) to prevent repeted paterns.
    3.use assert macro to verify the input as correct or wrong & select the correct array from where it peeks the a random message: 1+rand()%3.

    ~codez

    #include <assert.h> // include only if u wanna use the assert macro. otherwise remove it.
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <time.h>

    char correct[3][]={{"true"},{"that's correct""},{"that's right!"},{"You just Hit the Jackpot!"},{"Perfercto!}};

    char wrong[3][]={{"false"},{"I'm sorry that's wrong!"},{"dumb ass!"},{"Wrong Answer!"},{"Tu eres un Burrito!!!"}};


    inline int multiply(int x,int y){
    return x * y;
    }

    int main(void){

    unsigned int x,y,answer,right,ping;

    srand(time(NULL));
    do{
    x = 1 + rand() % 12;
    y = 1 + rand() % 12;
    printf(" %d times %d is equal to: ",x,y);
    scanf("%d",answer);
    right = multiply(x,y);
    if(right == answer){
    ping = 1 + rand()%4
    puts(correct[ping][]);
    }else{
    ping = 1 + rand()%4
    puts(wrong[ping][]);
    }
    }while(answer != -1);
    return 0;
    }
