    Random Number Array

    How does one set up an array of specific size, say 50 indexes, to have random variables in each index? Can't find how to do this.

    Thanks

    The naive, quick solution is to use srand and rand. Use these two functions to iterate through a static array of 50 elements and assign each element a value generated from rand.

    Do a board search for "shuffle".
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
