Re: Anyone have any ideas on this one.....

I am trying to write a program that will generate 100 random numbers
between 1 and 50. Using these numbers, I want to generate a list that will
tell the number of random numbers that fell between 1-5, 6-10, 11-15,
16-20, ... , and 46-50. Finally,I would like to print out the results as a
histogram. I have written it out and would think it would look like this.

1-5 (11) ***********
6-10 (8) ********
11-15 (12) ************
16-20 (9) *********
21-25 (10) **********
26-30 (11) ***********
31-35 (7) *******
36-40 (8) ********
41-45 (13) *************
46-50 (11) ***********

I am trying to learn how to do this and I am stuck. Any suggestions would
help. Even some possible tutorials to chek out would help.

To generate random number integer from set [1, 50] you can use: "number
= rand() % 50 + 1;" (remember to initialise pseudo-random number
generator with for instance srand(time(0))).

To get bucket number you can use "bucket = (number - 1) / 5;" (so in
fact it is better to generate random integer from set [0, 49] using
"number = rand() % 50;" and then calculate bucket number using "bucket =
number / 5;").

Then you increment given bucket, ie.: "buckets[bucket]++". Buckets have
to be zeroed first of course. And when results are ready you print the
results using two nested for loops.
