Ramdom Phrase Generator.

[Bazoukas90]

I made this program that asks you to calculate the product of random numbers. So far so good. But how can I make the program to generate apropriate random phrases for the correct and incorect answers?
I made two switch cases. One that inlcudes the phrases for the correct answer and one for the wrong answers. But i dont know how to make them work.
Thank you mucho.

ok, if x = 1 number, and y = 2nd number and the answer = x*y then figure out what it is.
lets say 5 * 6, so the answer is 30. check the input in an IF..THEN

if inputtedAnswer = CorrectAnswer then
write correct
else
write incorrect
end if

I did that and so far the program works fine. It outputs one phrase for each correct answer and one phrase for each wrong answer. But I would like to make it so it will generate random responces. Ex. To have the program choose between 3 comments for a correct answer and 3 different comments for a wrong answer. Thats where I am stuck now.

Hehe, I know you already solved your problem but just in case you decide that you feel like getting really complex, you could do this:

Set up a random phrase file format with various responses set up in a format something like this:

{"Congratulations!","Good for you!","Wow!","Amazing!","Excellent work!"}"You"{"got it"{"right!","correct!"},"answered the"{"problem","question"}"correctly."}

And something similar for a wrong answer.

Then, parse through the file and generate a random response from the different synonymous elements that can be fit together to make a valid English phrase.

I tried this once and it worked pretty well, though it took a long time to program and gave me plenty of headaches. With a large enough set of nested possible responses, the results can be quite random.

actually, if you store your responses in an array of strings, then you can use a random number generator to generate a number within the range of this array and it would randomly pick one. This might be easier and more random than a switch network. http://www.sharkyforums.com/ubb/smile.gif

Ok you got it to work but for kicks here is how i would do it:

Store in file (as mentioned above by vacindak)

{"Congratulations!","Good for you!","Wow!","Amazing!","Excellent work!"}"You"{"got it"{"right!","correct!"},"answered the"{"problem","question"}"correctly."}

And use a random number generator (lets say you have 10 responses)

int select_phrase=0;
select_phrase=rand()%10; //generates between 0 and ten
fopen(filename);
for(i=0;i<select_phrase;i++)
{
scanf("file", stringname) //scan as string
}


When you are out of this loop you should have the random response. The syntax isnt all correct but you get the point.

Would that work?
