    Bingo Card Program. Any input?

    http://i31.tinypic.com/350mh5w.jpg

    If you can't read it let me know (click to inlarge)but it is a bingo card and it generates random numbers in each row with FREE being in the middle and never changing. B is 1-15 I 16-30 and so on like a bingo card. What additions could I make to improve it. Thanks

    • You'll never get to the numbers 15, 30, 45, 60, or 75.
    • I don't know why you think printing "" will do anything for you.
    • If you print out B-8 twice, will they be able to mark both of them off when the number comes up? (IOW, you're not controlling for getting the same number twice in a column.)

    What else do you want it to do?

    What I can see is that you might be able to remove some code reduplication and ensure that any line won't contain the same number twice.

    As a hint, you don't need to end a statement after endl and can just carry on couting with <<.

    And if you have more code, perhaps consider showing it as text and not as a picture.
    I might be wrong.

    Thank you, anon. You sure know how to recognize different types of trees from quite a long way away.

    teacher said to exclude the rule of having 2 numbers in a column. Also not having "" the program will not compile and run.

    That's because then you'd have << twice in a row without nothing in between. Why don't you simply remove the extra << from the end of the lines?

    thanks your right. I am in an intro class so just learning right now. Reason I had that was because I had it all written out like in 1-2 lines then decided to split it up into separate lines.
