    #include <ctime>
    #include <cstdlib>
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;

    main()
    {

    char array[20];
    // initialize the array with values you want.
    .
    .
    .
    .
    srand (time(NULL));

    for (i = 1; i <= 5; i++)
    cout << array[rand() % 20];

    return 0;
    }
