    Storing random number in array(sequential search & bubble sort)

    i have generate random number, 1 - 20, such a sequence may or may not contain duplicates. Print each number as it is generated, and store it in an array, but only if it is not a duplicate of a number already stored.
    Code:
    for(int i=0;i<20;++i) {
        randomInt=rand()%20+1;
        cout<<randomInt<<endl;  // print each number
            
        MyRand[i]=randomInt;  //how to store all unique number(no duplicates in a one-dimensial array (use sequential search) - Use a function to search the existing array 		  
            }
    
      // After you have created the array, print it along with its actual size - Use a function to print the array.
    
    // Then print the array again, this time in sorted in increasing order - Use a function to sort the array (use bubble sort)
    Please can anyone guide me into successfull coding. I need this ASAP, coz the due date is near. Please help, i am beginner , i am trying to learn. E-mail me at: [email protected]

    Anyone can help, please give me your MSN. ok. THX alot.

    Help

    I could not do the part of storing the unique number in arrays (using sequential search). I really cannot understand that part, can anyone help me to code that part, and i will continue from there and finish my work on my own.

    Start by reading a tutorial or a sorting algorithm?

    I cannot understand sequential search.
    Ever tried flipping through a pile of notes page by page to find the page you want?
