[QUOTE="Babkockdood, post: 1037732, member: 128873"] OK, I have been trying for about an hour now to get this to work. I'm trying to generate a random number and display a line of text based on that number. This is what I have so far. [CODE]#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <time.h> int main() { srand(time(NULL)); int number = rand() % 3; if (number = 1) printf("This is the first line of text.\n"); if (number = 2) printf("This is the second line of text.\n"); }[/CODE] I want this to print either "This is the first line of text." or "This is the second line of text.". When I compile and run it, it prints both. Can someone help me with this? [/QUOTE]
