C++ :: Hangman Game - Generating Random Number

Sep 12, 2013

I am recreating a hangman game. I'm trying to generate a random number to choose which word from my words list to use and I've done it a billion times before just like this. So, here's my code:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib> //standard library.
#include <ctime> //for random.
#include <fstream> //for reading and writing to a file.
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int num_words;
string word[num_words];

[Code] .....

I have the text file "words.txt" info below.

5
dog
cat
horse
pig
bird

If I run the program as it is, I get a segmentation fault core dumped error, however, if I take all the stuff that reads in the words from the words.txt file, like so:

#include <iostream> //every program has this.
#include <cstdlib> //standard library.
#include <ctime> //for random.
#include <fstream> //for reading and writing to a file.
#include <string>

[Code] ....

it works correctly and generates a random number.

I'm using Linux Mint.

C++ :: Generating Random Number Of Normal Distribution

Mar 12, 2013

I am generating random number of normal distribution (0,1) but i suspect maybe I have done it wrong. The generator I use right now is

srand(time(0));
std::random_device rd;
std::mt19937 gen(rd());
std::default_random_engine generator;
std::normal_distribution<double> distribution(0,1);

Am I doing the right thing? Whether this is a real random number generator?

C :: Random Number Guessing Game

Feb 13, 2013

Code:

#include <conio.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#define MAX 100
}

[code].....

I am completely stuck when assigning values to and passing variables around. It seems that the problem occurs with fscanf function. I have also guessed that it might be passing and reading it as a character, even though I said it will be an integer, and tried atoi() with no luck. I troubleshooted the error as I tried to print the given values after I assign it. I am doing this for a friend I have recently been programming django, so I am completely out of the loop when it comes to C. where I am assigning converting passing in a wrong way?

C# :: Random Number Guessing Game?

Oct 13, 2014

The question for homework is Create an application that generates a random number in the range of 1 through 100 and asks the user to guess what the number is. If the user’s guess is higher than the random number, the program should display “Too high, try again.” If the user’s guess is lower than the random number, the program should display “Too low, try again.” If the user guesses the number, the application should congratulate the user and then generate a new random number so the game can start over"

I have no errors in my code, but when it compiles it and I type the number in, and hit calculate nothing happens at all. Im baffled. Here is my code.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;

C++ :: Algorithm For Letters Used In Hangman Game?

Jun 2, 2013

designing an algorithm forHangman game.

I've got everything I need that is expected of my program except this.

When the user starts the game they will have these letters available to them:

"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"

Now if they were to guess 'a' it should look like this:

"-bcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"

then if they were to guess 'k':

"-bcdefghij-lmnopqrstuvwxyz"

and so forth.

C++ :: Hangman Game - Reading One Line From TXT File

Dec 23, 2013

My question is how can i read one line from a ".txt" file? To be more clear, i'm trying to write a hangman game. Therefore I'm trying to get words from a "wordlist.txt" file i created. I know a little bit about ifstream, ofstream and fstream. So my function i created to get a random line from this txt (not-completed yet since i don't know how to get that randomized line);

void grw() {
int line;
srand (time(NULL));
line = (rand() % 7972) + 1;
ifstream wordlist;
wordlist.open("wordlist.txt");
}

I created a variable called 'line' for the line number and randomized it (there are 7972 words in ".txt" file). So what i want to do now is to get the word on that line.

C :: Random Number Game - Segmentation Fault (core Dumped) Error

Jun 25, 2013

Ok, so doing an assignment for a random number game where you guess and it says too high or too low until you get it right or run out of tries. Here is what I got so far:

Code:
//Cameron Taylor

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<time.h>

int main(){
srand(time(0));
int number = rand()%100+1;;
int guess, numberGuess;

[Code] ....

Getting "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" after inputting the first number, but it compiles correctly.

I later have to add "Do you want to play again (y/n)", so I will use this post to continue that later.

C :: Generating Random Numbers

Oct 19, 2014

I have a program that generates random numbers. After the random number is generated, the program asks if you want to generate another random number. However, if you generate another random number, it is always the same as the first random number. How can I fix this?

C++ :: Generating Big Random Numbers In C

Feb 16, 2013

I want to generate big random numbers in C(not C++ please).By "big" I mean integers much bigger than srand(time(NULL)) and rand() functions' limit(32767).

I tried writing: (note:I am not able to see "code" tag button in this editor,so I am not using it)

//****
int randomnumber;
srand( time(NULL) );
randomnumber = (( rand() % 33 ) * ( rand() % 33 ) * ( rand() % 33) * ( rand() * 33) * (rand() % 33 )) + 1
//****

But I have doubts about it's randomness quality.Also there is another problem,the program can't know the maximum random number it should use before user input,so maximum random number may need to use much smaller maximum random number according to user input.

Is there a better algorithm to create big random numbers in C?

C++ :: Generating Random Integers?

Jun 9, 2013

I'm creating a game in C++ and need to generate random numbers. I know about

int main()
{
srand(time(NULL)); //Initialises randomiser or sum' like that
int x=rand%10; //Generates from 0-9
cout<<x;
}

Now, I need the best way to generate random numbers. Do I call "srand(time(NULL));" every time I want to randomise? What is the best method to generate a nearly perfect random number?

I may need to call a randomiser more than once a second, so taking second as seed (I believe that's what srand(time(NULL)); does).

C++ :: Generating Random Numbers In Parallel

Nov 8, 2013

I generate a series of random numbers in parallel (using OpenMP), but depending on what number of threads I invoke, I get a different result. From that I conclude that I have made an error somewhere!

Here is the MWE, which generates a number between 0..1 and increments a variable if the generated variable is larger than 0.5:

Code:
#include <random>
typedef std::uniform_real_distribution<double> distr_uni;
#define max_threads 1
using namespace std;

[Code] ....

When I set max_threads=1 I get 50027, but when max_threads=60 (on a machine that supports it....) I get 50440.

The sensitive RNG and its engine I have declared within the parallelized area, so it's not really clear to me where the error can possibly be.

Looking for error that is apparently there?

C :: Generating Random Numbers Without Repeating?

Sep 20, 2014

Inside my loop is this

srand(time(NULL))
a=rand()%10;

So it will generate numbers again and again as the loop goes on but it always repeat some numbers. My question is, how would you generate numbers without repeating? Somebody told me that i have to use auto increment, but i really have no idea about that.

C++ :: Program That Keeps Generating Two Random Numbers Between 1 And 10

May 6, 2013

#include <ctime>
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
int main() {

[Code] ....

Write a program that keeps generating two random numbers between 1 and 10 and asks the user for the product of the two numbers, e.g.: "What is 4 x 6?". If the user answers correctly, the program responds with "Right!"; otherwise, it displays: Wrong! 4 x 6 = 24.

Generate as many pairs of numbers as specified and get the answers from the user for each. If at any time, both numbers are the same as last time, generate two new numbers before asking for the answer. Continue generating 2 new numbers until at least one is different from last time.

After presenting the number of pairs of numbers specified and getting the answers, display how many the user got right; e.g.: You got 4 of 5 right. Then, ask if he or she wants to play again, like so: "Do you want to play again? [y/n]". If the user answers with 'y' or 'Y', it again reads the number of questions to ask and generates that many pairs of numbers and reads the answers like before. If the answer is n or N, it quits generating numbers. If the answer is anything but y, Y, n or N, it tells the user to enter one of those letters until it is.

When the user decides to quit and has got less than 75% of all the questions right, the program displays the multiplication table (1x1 through 10x10) before terminating.

After displaying the table, randomly generate two numbers between 1 and 10, display their product and first number and ask the user to guess the second as more practice. For example, the program will generate 7 and 9 and will display 63 and 7 and the user must guess the second number (i.e.: 9). Do this 3 times. Do not repeat code. Use a loop to do this 3 times.

Use a nested for loop to display the table; a bunch of cout statements will not be acceptable. You must also use a loop for any part that calls for repetition such as generating 5 pairs of numbers.

The following is a sample interaction between the user and the program:

Enter the number of questions to ask: 5

1. What is 3 x 9? 27
Right!

2. What is 2 x 7? 14
Right!

3. What is 8 x 9? 63
Wrong! 8 x 9 = 72

4. What is 6 x 3? 21
Wrong! 6 x 3 = 18

5. What is 2 x 9? 18
Right!

You got 3 out of 5 right which is 60%.

I have been able to enter the number and output the correct amount of letters but i can't figure out how to get them to be in a random order and not in alphabetical. Here is what I have so far.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
