Random Numbers

[Psalm11_6]

The program I have is as follows:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define SIZE 4

int main()
{
    int a=0,b=0;
    int x[SIZE];
    int y[SIZE];
    
    srand(time (NULL));
    for( a=0; a<SIZE; a++ )
    {
         x[a] = 1 + (rand() %10);
         for( b=0; b<SIZE; b++ )
         {
              y[b] = 1 + (rand() %10); 
              printf( "[%d][%d] ", x[a], y[b] );
              } 
         printf( "\n" );
         
    }
    scanf("%d");
    return 0;  
}

I am trying to get both arrays to return random numbers, but the only numbers that appear truly random are those of the second array. I don't understand why this is, as they are both programmed the same. Can anyone point me to my error and how to correct it?

Thank you very much for your time,
Brent

Well you print out a lot more x[a] without ever changing a

If you filled the x array (once) and the y array (once), then print them both (once) you should see what you expect (I guess).

Where is it going to store the result?
See the FAQ for some good ways of pausing a console program at the end.

I just use the scanf at the end temporarily to make the program stay open when I use compile and run. Just a habit I suppose I should get out of.

Just a habit I suppose I should get out of.

You should get out of habit to pass wrong number of argumants to scanf/printf not corresponding to format - it is the straight way to crash your program
