Creating and sorting two arrays

[roids55]

So i am supposed to be creating a program that will create two sets of arrays. Each array will have a randomly generated amount of numbers between 2-50 that are also randomly generated between 1-100. We then have to sort the array and display that as well. I have some code so far but I know that it does not do the random generation or sorting part. Our professor has cancelled class every day for nearly the last two weeks which was when we were supposed to cover this but he still expects us to turn it in. And the TAs are gone when he is and that is our only source of help. I have what i do based on previous classes and what ive been able to teach myself from googling non stop for hours. We have to use arrays not vector and we must use srand(7). Can anyone help me please get my code to output something similar to the following:

There are 14 values in the first array.

Unsorted Random Numbers
------------------------------------------------------------
53.2 46.4 21.5 47.4 19.9 92.0 36.0 84.6 62.1 14.7
86.7 76.4 54.3 36.8

Sorted Random Numbers
------------------------------------------------------------
14.7 19.9 21.5 36.0 36.8 46.4 47.4 53.2 54.3 62.1
76.4 84.6 86.7 92.0



There are 43 values in the second array.

Unsorted Random Numbers
------------------------------------------------------------
0.2 73.8 48.3 47.3 7.9 28.0 86.8 28.9 68.3 40.3

95.5 99.0 99.9

  using namespace std;
double print(int *array);
double produce(int *array);
int main()
{
	int array[2];
	produce(array);
	print(array);
}

double produce(int *array)
{
	srand(7);
	for(int i=0; i<2; i++)
	{ 
        array[i] = (rand()%10)+1; 
        cout << array[i] << endl;
	}
	return *array;
	
}

double print (int *array)
{
	for(int i=0; i<2; i++)
	{ 
        cout << array[i] << endl;
	}
	getchar();
	return *array;
}

Hello roids55,

First you need to include the proper header files for this program.

If you read up on "srand" and "rand", this is a good place to start http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cstdlib/ , you will see that "srand" should only be called once at the beginning of main.

After this you will need code to generate a number between 2 and 50 before you call the function "produce" where you will need to pass this value to the function. Also you will need this value in the "print" function.

Line 6 does not create two arrays, but one array with a size of 2. Not what you want.

The "produce" function should create a random number between 1 and 100, but it generates a number between 1 and 10 or maybe 11.

The "print" function does not work because you are telling it to print only two elements of the array when there should be more than two elements of the array, up to 50 elements actually. therefor you will need a variable passed to the function to know how many elements of the array are used.

You have a good start, but needs some work.

Hope that helps,

Andy
