Lotto array program with void function

[vinochick]

I have to write a program that allows a user to pick five numbers from one to 55. The computer will then generate 5 random numbers and determine how many of the users choices match the generated numbers. I have to create an algorithm for this program. The program will have a void function to generate 5 random numbers from one to 55, no duplicate numbers allowed. The random numbers and the choices will be stored in two one dimensional arrays. The program will have a void function to display the random
numbers and the users choices and the number of matches. The program will contain a loop that will generate a new set of random numbers and user choices unless the user tells the program to quit. I don't even know where to start with this. The void function is what I'm not getting mostly.

I put together this to show you the void function part and I included how to make the 5 random numbers.

Things you need to do:
-User input for 5 numbers (check each to see if they are within 1-55)
-Make a checker for what numbers the user got right (in the void function)
-Output the numbers that the user got correct (in the void function)

#include <iostream>
#include <time.h>

using namespace std;

void check(int input[5])
{
	bool used;
	int randNum[5];
	memset(randNum, 0, sizeof(randNum));
	srand(time(NULL));
	
	//creates the 5 unique random numbers
	for( int i = 0; i < 5; i++ )
	{
		int number = rand()%54+1;
		do
		{
			used = false;
			for( int c = 0; c < 5; c++ )
			{
				
				if( number == randNum[c] )
					used = true;
				
			}
		}while(used);
		randNum[i] = number;
	}
	
	//checks to see what numbers the user got right
	
	
	
	//outputs numbers the user got right
	
	

}

int main()
{
	int numbers[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
	check(numbers);
	system("PAUSE");
	return 0;
}

Here is a possible pseudo-code for what ye' wish to accomplish:

1. Prompt the user for 5 numbers:

do{  
     cout << "Enter a number: ";  
     cin >> user_picks[i];
     i++;
}while(i<5);

2. Ensure that user did not make a duplicate pick:

do{  
     cout << "Enter a number: ";  
     cin >> user_picks[i];
     //You will design the is_duplicate() function
     if(is_duplicate(user_picks[i]))
     {
          cout << "\aError!  Number already used!";
          i--;
     }
     i++;
}while(i<5);

3. Generate 5 random non-duplicated numbers:

//Seed random number generator
srand(time(NULL));

//Populate lotto[5] array with 5 unique integers
for(int i=0; i<5; i++)
{
     lotto[i] = rand()%55+1;
     
     //You will design the is_duplicate() test 
     if(is_duplicate(lotto[i]))
     {
          i--;
     }
}

4. Compare the user_picks[5] array with the lotto[5] array:

for(int i=0; i<5; i++)
{
     for(int j=0; j<5; j++)
     {
          if(user_picks[i] == lotto[j])
          {
               match++;
          }
     }
}

5. Display useful information to the user:

cout << "Your numbers: ";
for(int i=0; i<5; i++)
{
     cout << user_picks[i] << ' ';
}

cout << "Official lottery drawing: ";
for(int i=0; i<5; i++)
{
     cout << lotto[i] << ' ';
}

cout << "You have successfully matched " << matches << " numbers!";

I have just spoon fed you a lot of useful information that no one else would give you without any effort or attempt at programming on your part so I suggest you take this pseudo-code and run with it.

Here is what I ended up with, but now I'm at a loss as to how to get it to repeat until the user quits.

#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>

using namespace std;

//function prototype
void randomNumbers (int []);
void displayNumbers (int []);
void displayMatches (int[],int []);
void getChoices(int []);

int main()
{
	 //declare variables
	int choice [5]={0};
	int matchingNum[5] = {0};
	 int num[5]={0};
	 
	//get choices
	 getChoices(choice);
	 randomNumbers(num);
		  
		  //call function to display random numbers
		  cout << "The random numbers are: " << endl;
		  displayNumbers(num);

		  //call function to display choices
		  cout << "Your choices were: " << endl;
		  displayNumbers(choice);

		  //call function to display number of correct choices
		 displayMatches (choice,num);
	 
	 
	 //quit program prompt
	// cout << "End of program" << endl;

	 return 0;

}	 //end of main function

//******function definitions******
void randomNumbers (int lotto[])
{
	bool check[56]={false};
	bool again= true;
	int randomNumber=0;
	srand (static_cast<int>(time(0)));
	for(int x=0;x<5;++x)
	{ 
		do
			{
				randomNumber = 1 + rand() % (55 - 1 +1);
					if(check[randomNumber]==false)
				    {	lotto[x]=randomNumber;
						check[randomNumber]=true;
						again = false;
					}
				}while(again==true);
			again= true;
	}

}	 //end of randomNumbers function

void displayNumbers (int num[])
{	for(int x =0;x<5;++x)
	{
	 cout << num[x]<<endl;
	}	 //end of displayRandom function
}

void getChoices( int choice[])
{ 
	bool check[56]={false};
	int pick=0;
	for(int x=0;x<5;++x)
	{ 
		 
		  //get input items
		  cout << "Pick five random numbers from 1 to 55"<< endl;
		  cout << x+1<<" Number: ";
		  cin>>pick;
		   if(check[pick]==false)
		  {
			   choice[x]=pick;
			   check[pick]=true;
		   }
		    else
		  { 
			   cout<< "Please enter another number you may not have two picks of the same number or"<<endl;
			   cout<<"greater than 55"<<endl;
			    --x;
		  }
	}
}
void displayMatches (int choice[],int lotto[])
{
	int match=0;
	cout<<"Your matches are: "<<endl;
 for(int x=0;x<5;++x)
		  {
			   for(int y=0 ;y<5;++y)
			   {
				    if(choice[x]==lotto[y])
					{
						cout<<choice[x]<<endl;
						++match;
					}
			   }
		  }
 if (match==5)
			   cout<<"You were the big winner you matched all 5 numbers"<<endl;
		  else
		  {
			   if(match!=0)
			   cout<< "you matched "<< match<<" numbers"<<endl;
			   else
				    cout<<"You loose! You matched 0 numbers"<<endl;
		  }
}

create do-while loop in main function

do {
//lines #19-#32
//ask user if he wants to quit ("press q to quit")
//get his answer
while (/*!(check if q was pressed)*/);

What's more I suppose You'll have to reset some arrays/variables.
