random sequence without duplicates

[carlosmarin7]

Hi everyone!

I am trying to generate a sequence of random numbers between 1-100 without duplicates.

The problem is that I do not manage to prevent duplicates from being produced.

The program will serve to avoid the positions in the tables in a championship of poker.

Thank you in advance.

That's the code:

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

  
int main () {

     int nummesas;
     int numjugadores;
     int jugxmesa=10;
     int nummesa;
     int numjug;
     int numpos;
     
     int matriz[10][10];
     
     srand (time (NULL)) ;
     
     printf(" \n");
     printf("Introduce el numero de jugadores: ");
     scanf("%d", &numjugadores);
     printf(" \n");
     if (numjugadores>=0){
                          printf("   - Participan %d jugadores \n \n", numjugadores);
                          nummesas=numjugadores/jugxmesa;
                          if(numjugadores!=100){
                                                if(numjugadores<=99 && numjugadores>=91) 
                                                                                          nummesas=10;
                                                if(numjugadores<=90 && numjugadores>=81) 
                                                                                          nummesas=9;

The problem is there:

                                                                                  printf("TABLE NUMBER: %d \n\n", nummesa);

Wow... At least you indent...

The only easiest way to do this is to keep a running list of all "random" numbers used in your number generator. So, just some data structure to keep track(I suggest a bmp) and if a number has been used, you could call the number generator recursively, until you find a number that hasn't been used. Be careful to put so check to recognize when all #s have been used, otherwise you'll get an infinite recursive call(That is, until you overflow the stack...).

Thanks!!! Very Grateful!

Already it is solved!

That's the code:

The only way to do this is to keep a running list of all "random" numbers used in your number generator. So, just some data structure to keep track(I suggest a bmp) and if a number has been used, you could call the number generator recursively, until you find a number that hasn't been used. Be careful to put so check to recognize when all #s have been used, otherwise you'll get an infinite recursive call(That is, until you overflow the stack...).

If the number of random numbers is large compared to the range, then you should consider populating an array with the entire range of numbers, then shuffling them and pick out the first n. (You could partially shuffle, if necessary.) In this case, it appears that the number of random numbers required is relatively small, so User Name:'s suggestion is better.

Already it is solved!

That's the code:

Good to hear that. You might want to check though, e.g., nummesas was never assigned a value, although you did assign it a value in your earlier code. Furthermore, the indentation could be more consistent, and you do not need to indent by what looks like 20+ spaces: 2 to 8 spaces, or a single literal tab, is enough
