Thread: It seg faults

I'm trying to use a random number generator to index through an array. I get the numbers and have printed them to the screen but I cant seem to get anything to work past that. I've tried to store the random numbers in a variable, and it just prints the garbage.

Thanks

Code:

	static const char *list[100] = { "the", "of", "and", "a", "to", "in", "is", "you",
	"that", "it", "he", "was", "for", "on", "are", "as", "with", "his", "they",
	"I", "at", "be", "this", "have", "from", "or", "one", "had", "by",
	"word", "but", "not", "what", "all", "were", "we", "when", "your", "can",
	"said", "there", "use", "an", "each", "which", "she", "do", "how", "their",
	"if", "will", "up", "other", "about", "out", "many", "then", "them", "these",
	"so", "some", "her", "would", "make", "like", "him", "into", "time", "has",
	"look", "two", "more", "write", "go", "see", "number", "no", "way", "could",
	"people", "my", "than", "first", "water", "been", "call", "who", "oil",
	"its", "now", "find", "long", "down", "day", "did", "get", "come", "made",
	"may", "part"};

 		/*sets the bounds*/
		printf("%d\n", rand() % (HIGH - LOW + 1) +LOW );

		x = rand();
		printf("%d\n", x);

				
		/* print word from array*/
		printf("%s\n", list[rand()] );

Code:

printf("%s\n", list[rand()] );

The odds of a brand-new random number that you pick here being within the bounds that you set are small. Why not use

Code:

printf("%d\n", x=rand() % (HIGH - LOW + 1) + LOW);
printf("%d\n", x);
printf("%s\n", list[x]);

Remember: every different call to rand() gets a different number.

That did it thanks a lot
