Ok I know this is a openGL forum. but this is only forum i found so far that has good people on it. But Iam using a fucntion to randomly pick a value and have another function use that random to call a word from a char array but everytime it does this it only displays the first letter... and i cant figure out why... sorry to be posting this on openGL forum.
Can you post some code?
Im sure it has nothing to do with your random number selection - its probably how you display the result but to be completely sure, i need to see some code. You never know where the bug might be

int LOW = 0;
int HIGH = 5;
int WordPicker();
char Word();
int WordPicker()
{
int nWord;
time_t seconds;
time(&seconds);
srand((unsigned int) seconds);
nWord = rand() % (HIGH - LOW) + LOW;
return nWord;
}
char Word()
{
int nWord = WordPicker();
char* szWord[] = {"online", "game", "hat", "word", "diablo", "mom", "\0"};
return *szWord[nWord];
}
int main()
{
cout<< WordPicker() << " " << Word() << "\n";
return 0;
}
int HIGH = 5;
int WordPicker();
char Word();
int WordPicker()
{
int nWord;
time_t seconds;
time(&seconds);
srand((unsigned int) seconds);
nWord = rand() % (HIGH - LOW) + LOW;
return nWord;
}
char Word()
{
int nWord = WordPicker();
char* szWord[] = {"online", "game", "hat", "word", "diablo", "mom", "\0"};
return *szWord[nWord];

While i go through the debugger it shows that szWord[nWord] is correct but i cant get it to display the full word... hrmmm
char Word()
{
int nWord = WordPicker();
char* szWord[] = {"online", "game", "hat", "word", "diablo", "mom", "\0"};
return *szWord[nWord];
}
your returning only a char not a pointer to a char
change to char *Word()
{
int nWord = WordPicker();
char* szWord[] = {"online", "game", "hat", "word", "diablo", "mom", "\0"};
return *szWord[nWord];
}
your returning only a char not a pointer to a char
change to char *Word()
the problem comes because it is returning a char not a char * like it should. try this
char *Word()
{
int nWord = WordPicker();
char* szWord[] = {"online", "game", "hat", "word", "diablo", "mom", "\0"};
return szWord[nWord];
}
char *Word()
{
int nWord = WordPicker();
char* szWord[] = {"online", "game", "hat", "word", "diablo", "mom", "\0"};
return szWord[nWord];
}
