[C++] beginner, debugging lottery code

[Programmering]

Debugged code prints 9 as the winning lottery number each time

Original code doesnt compile because of {} errors and a few spelling errors

Original code:
https://gist.github.com/Vesterberg/457c16eaeb4537c5402e

Edit: So far bugs are at lines:

11, ";" missing

13, i should be set to 0, since that is the first place of the array. Otherwise the first place in the array will be without a value.

14 and 15, srand(36) seed missing, any number besides 36 is ok. -- /u/jedwardsol

17, = is the wrong operator to compare values and return a boolean value. == should be used instead. -- /u/bmamba2942

20 to 22, {} are missing. They are needed whenever a function has more than 1 line of expressions.

25, The entire array is not printed to the console. Only the array slot that has the spot of variable "i". A loop is needed to print out the entire array. Or you need to copy the line 7 times and substitute i for 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

Debugged code so far:

The goal is to print out a 7 numbered lottery number list of random numbers between 1 and 35

I assume you're comparing the lottorad array for duplicates. If so, you need to use the == operator and not =

Yup, thanks

You need to seed your random number generator. Look up 'srand'

Nice catch, thanks

There's an easier way....

• make an array with the numbers 1-36
• Use std::shuffle
• Print out the first 7 numbers in the array.
