Well I initialize an array of 5000, along with using srand & rand numbers with a range. I want to Prompt the user to enter an integer to search (from the front of the array) & output the index location of the element found(-1 if not found). I attempted it, but no index output of the element. Any help is appreciated. Here is my code thus far:
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <time.h>
using namespace std;
const int SIZE = 5000; //Initializing the Array
void fill(int []);
int search;
int index = -1;
int main (void) {
srand (time(0)); //Initializing Srand just once
int int_ary[SIZE];
fill (int_ary);
int test = int_ary[rand()% ((0 + 16383)-8191)];
/* Initalizing random numbers ranging from -8191 to 8192
*/
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}
/* fill initializes ary with random integers
pre-condition: ary is correctly declared
post-condition: ary is filled
*/
void fill (int ary[]) {
const int from = -8192;
const int to = +8191;
for (int k=0; k<SIZE; k++) {
ary[k] = from + rand() % (to - from + 1);
cout << "Search any number between -8191 to 8192\n";
cin >> search;
for(int i = 0; i<SIZE; ++i)
{
if( ary[i] == search )
{
index = i;
}
}
cout << index;
}
}
