So far so good, now what?

I've pieced this together. Now I cannot remember how to call the correct number into the printf function. I seem to remember doing this array different the previous time in the form of a table.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

	char *insult[7]{
		"*",
		"*",
		"*",
		"*",
		"*",
		"*",
		"*",
	},

	char *noun[3]{
		"*",
		"*",
		"*",
	
	},

	int random_insult()
	 {
		  srand((unsigned)time(NULL));
		  return rand()%6;
	 }
 
 	int random_noun()
 	 {
 		  srand((unsigned)time(NULL));
 		  return rand()%2;
 	 }

	int main()
	{
		int noun_number;
		int insult_number;
		noun_number = do_randomnoun;
		printf(

If you want to print a random insult then do this:

Code:

printf("%s", insult[random_insult()]);

OR for a random noun, do this:

Code:

printf("%s", insult[random_noun()]);

- You should call srand() only once in your program.
- Using this method to get a random number is not good:
>return rand()%6;
as it produces numbers that aren't very random. Try a board search and find some of Prelude's advice on this matter to get a better result.

Well first i'd like to figure out what i'm doing wrong. Then i'll tinker with the tiny bits. This is what I have now. I tried the advice with the arrays. And with the printing of the randoms and it wouldn't compile. I did this once before about 6 months ago. I seem to recall having done it similar to this, but theres some funky error going on. I'm using DJGPP. And it tells me theres a syntax error before '{', token on lines 10 and 20. Anyways this is the code.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>


char insult;
char noun;



const struct insult_type insult_table[]{
	"",
	"",
	"",
	"",
	"",
	"",
	""
	}

const struct noun_type noun_table[]{
	"",
	"",
	""
	}

int random_insult()
{
	  srand((unsigned)time(NULL));
	  return rand()%6;
	}
 
int random_noun()
{
	  srand((unsigned)time(NULL));
	  return rand()%2;
   }

	
void do_insult()
{
      printf("%s", noun[]);
      printf("%s", insult[]);
      printf("Want another?\n\r");
   }
	
int main()
{
      int cnt = 0;
      char answer;
		
      for(cnt=0;cnt<20;cnt++)
      do_insult();
      scanf("%s", &answer);
		if (answer = 'N') !! if (answer='n'))
		{
			exit(0);
		}
	return(0);
}

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>

const char  *insult_table[] = { "i1", "i2", "i3", "i4", "i5", "i6", "i7" };

const char  *noun_table[] = { "n1", "n2", "n3" };

int random_insult(void)
{
    return(rand() % 6);
}

int random_noun(void)
{
    return(rand() % 2);
}

void do_insult(void)
{
    printf("%s %s\n", noun_table[random_noun()], insult_table[random_insult()]);
    printf("Want another?\n");
}

int main(void)
{
    int     cnt;
    int     answer;

    for (cnt = 0; cnt < 20; cnt++)
    {
        do_insult();
        answer = getchar();
        if (answer == 'N' || answer == 'n')
        {
            break;
        }
        while (getchar() != '\n');
    }

    return(0);
}

Here, review the changes I have made.... it should get you started.
