Dev C++ Problem!

i'm having problems with dev c++, it wont let me assign a statement to a variable:

Code:

nDCard1=rand()%13+1

also, i'm trying to learn how to generate a random number, here's what i want to do, i want it to generate a number betaween 1 to 13!

here's the code i'm trying to do, could u pls see if it's correct? i havent tested it cuz it wont compile due to the error above

Code:

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

int main(void)
{
      int nMoney = 100, nBet, nDCard1 = 0, nDCard2 = 0, nDCArd3 = 0;
      int nSuit,nDCard4 = 0, nDCard5 = 0;
      char dev_c;
      
      srand(time(NULL));

      printf ("Your money: $ %d\n", nMoney);
      printf ("Your bet: $ ");
      scanf ("%d\n", &nBet);

      printf (">>> Here are the dealer's cards <<<");
      
      nDCard1=rand()%13+1
      
      switch (nDCard1)
           { case 1: printf ("Ace of");
             case 2: printf ("Two of");
             case 3: printf ("Three of");
             case 4: printf ("Four of");
             case 5: printf ("Five of");
             case 6: printf ("Six of");
             case 7: printf ("Seven of");
             case 8: printf ("Eight of");
             case 9: printf ("Nine of");
             case 10: printf ("Ten of");
             case 11: printf ("Jack of");
             case 12: printf ("Queen of");
             case 13: printf ("King of");
           }
           return(0);

scanf ("%c", dev_c);
scanf ("%c", dev_c);
}

thanx a lot! i'm so glad i found this site! i'm a new member by the way

Try adding a ; to the end of your statement. Also, there is a FAQ on random numbers.


Quzah.

thanx a lot! i overlooked the semicolon! silly me! thanx again
