please help me sir! i need to randomize the questions.. thats the only problem that i got =_=..
closed account (NUj6URfi)
Search up RAND c++ on google.
closed account (NUj6URfi)
Assign each question a number and use the rand function per question
zzzz... its really confusing because theres a hint in every question. =_=

Hi there,

Please don't use caps to ask your question. It is considered a shouting and impolite. Also,please wrap your code in [code][/code]-tags to make the code more readable.

JLBorges was kind enough to pretty much give you a full, working implementation of the assignment you have. Yet I don't see you using any of it in your code.

@JLBorges, thanks for that mentioning Coliru, much more customizable than ideone and much less cluttered interface.

All the best,
NwN

soooooooooooooooooory about that .. my bad ^_^ well thanks for the people who helped me XD
