Homework for Random Generator

[SirZombieton]

For homework I am tasked with making a random generator that gives a different outcome whenever it is executed using function prototypes, switches, and enum. I tried everything I could, but the outcomes I got was after executing the program the result would just repeat itself a few times before going to a different result it even would bring me back to bash prompt.

What am I doing wrong?

I compiled it using GCC if that helps.

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

enum meme {YEE, WAE, VERY, HARAMBE};


int dankestmemes(void); // function prototype

int main(void) {   

srand(time(NULL)); // randomize random generator using current time
//int randomNumber = rand() % 5;    
    int memes;
    enum meme dankMeme; // can contain YEE, WAE, VERY, HARAMBE
    int dank = dankestmemes(); // When program first executes
    
    switch((dank + randomNumber) % 5){  //puts you in a meme tribe
        
        case 1: 
        dankMeme = YEE;  
        printf("Welcome to the tribe of the Yee Dinosaur. "); 
        printf("You are very wise for choosing this tribe\n"); 
        break;        
            
        case 2: 
        dankMeme = WAE;
        printf("You have found da wae to da Ugandan Knuckle ");
        printf(" Tribe my brutha. \n");
        printf("Now let us look for our queen.\n"); 
        break;
        
        case 3: 
        dankMeme = VERY;
        printf("MUCH WOW. VERY AMAZE YOU JOIN DOGE TRIBE!\n");
        break;
        
        case 4: 
        dankMeme = HARAMBE;
        printf("You have been blessed with the precense of Harambe\n ");
        printf("in the Harambe Tribe, here we honor the greatest thing \n");
        printf("that sacrificed it's life trying to protect a child. \n");
        printf("Harambe is gone, but will never be forgotten!\n");
        break;
         }
    }
int dankestmemes(void){

 return (rand() % 6) + (rand() % 6) + 2;  // Randomizes outcome
 }

I understand what it does, did I not put it in correctly though?

Modulus 5 results in a value from 0 to 4! You do not handle the value of 0 in your switch statement.
