Problem with my function [can´t find the solution]

FutureWarrior90 (3)
Hello Iam writing a program for replace words in a sentence.
Nothing special, because Iam a newbie ^.^
For example:
"Whats your name?"
Replacefunction();
"Whats your age?".

I guess I´ve done everything well! I researched the internet but I can´t find my mistake? Why there is always an Error?

Thanks for answering me

Showing the errors it gives would make it easier to find the problem.

random_number = rand() % 4 + 0;
random_number gets a value in the range 0-3 but the switch handles numbers 1-4.
