    Yea i allready tryed that...

    I tryed the one under:

    It's best to encapsulate this process in a function so that it can be called as many times as required.
    And i got this:
    ------ Build started: Project: Joost2, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
    Compiling...
    Item1.cpp
    c:\documents and settings\joost van doorn\mijn documenten\visual studio 2005\projects\joost2\joost2\item1.cpp(31) : error C3861: 'time': identifier not found

    : error C3861: 'time': identifier not found
    That error means you forgot to include ctime header file.
    Code:
    #include <ctime>
    ...
    ... // other stuff here

    That program had a bug in that it didn't include time.h. That usually ends up working in C, but fails miserably in C++ because C++ requires a prototype.

    Genereer gewoon een random nummer en doe daar jouwn mimimun waarde bij, oftewel + 5. Om te zorgen dat je programma niet 2 keer dezelfde waarde genereerd moet je de waarde die je programma genereerd in bijvoorbeeld een integer zetten, kijk dan of je nieuwe gegenereerde nummer gelijk is aan een eerder gegenereerd nummer, zo ja genereer nog een keer tot dat het nieuwe gegenereede nummer niet gelijk is, als je hulp nodig hebt post ik mijn code wel even waarin dat gebeurd maar je kan het beter zelf doen want dan leer je er nog van, succes.

    Your name is very dutch, :P. Also "\mijn documenten". Anyway I will post a little program I made one day which uses the random funcion but will not use it twice:

    PHP Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <windows.h>

    using namespace std;

    string S 256 ] [ 256 ],
           
    S2 256 ] [ 256 ],
           
    C;

    int i,
        
    j,
        
    k,
        
    256 ] [ 256 ],
        
    256 ] [ 256 ],
        
    256 ] [ 256 ],
        
    o,
        
    256 ] [ 256 ],
        
    NO 256 ] [ 256 ];

    int main()
    {

        if ( 
    isdigit ] ) &&
