How would i make the getRandomInteger() returned integer, with a range of 4, print a word associated with each random integer? If the printed random number is 1, how would i make it print "dog" instead of 1, where 1 = "dog", and so on for each number in the range?
#rand() help

Sorry if that doesn’t make sense
I want to associate a word with each random integer, and print that instead of the integer
Obviously doing int 1 = “Dog”; doesn’t work

create an array of string literals generate a random index and print whatever word in said index

Ok so the directions are to print the word in a separate function named printImage(). “Print the name of an image when passed its number as an argument”

i don't see how that changes things

Idk what to do with that
So I’d create an array of every word I want to use, and printing a word for whatever random integer is selected from the array position?

well... yes

@subtle trout Has your question been resolved? If so, type !solved :)
proud tree
consider:
static int generate_rand(int max, int min) {
...
}
static void foo(char **words, size_t size) {
if (!words || !size) return;
size_t idx = (size_t)generate_rand(4, 0);
assert(idx < size);
puts(words[idx]);
}
int main(void) {
// seed your rand here
char *words[] = {"1", "2", "3", "4"}; // this array can also be local within foo if you so desire
foo(words, sizeof words / sizeof *words);
}```
or something along these linesJust figured it how to do it with if statements

thats also an option (though not as flexible)

if you are taking the this approach - you might want to rethink your design here. if getRandomInteger well, gives you a random integer - does it needs to print the word associated with said integer too?
