... and I don't know why.
I'm just getting back into C++ programming after years of not using it at all. I tried to make a simple program that
- Creates 10 random numbers between 0-99 and prints them
- Categorizes each number by range
- prints the sum of all numbers.
The problem is that every time I run the program, it consistently gives the exact same output and I don't know why!
I uploaded it so you can see what I mean: http://jerail.ca/cgi-bin/random.cpp.cgi
And here's the source code:
/*
Some random numbers
*/
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int i; // for use in loop
int numbers[10]; // to store our random numbers
int cat[3] = { 0, 0, 0 }; // category of size
int sum = 0; // sum of all numbers
for(i=0;i<10;i++) // loop thru 10 times...
{
numbers[i] = (rand()%100); // get a rand num
cout << numbers[i] << endl; // print rand num to screen (+ linebreak)
sum = sum + numbers[i]; // add rand num to total sum
if(numbers[i]>=0 && numbers[i]<=33)
cat[0] = cat[0] + 1; // if 0<x<33 increment counter
else if(numbers[i]>=34 && numbers[i]<=70)
cat[1] = cat[1] + 1; // if 34<x<70 increment counter
else if(numbers[i]>=71 && numbers[i]<=99)
cat[2] = cat[2] + 1; // if 71<x<99 increment counter
else
{
cerr << "ERROR" << endl; // otherwise print error
return -1; // and kill program
}
}
cout << "A (0-33): " << cat[0] << endl
<< "B (34-70): " << cat[1] << endl
<< "C (71-99): " << cat[2] << endl // output totals of each category...
<< "Sum: " << sum << endl; // ... and total sum of all numbers
return 0; // return success
}
