So the problem I am having is that one of the random number integers is printing twice but only in the second printf statement in the program at the bottom. This code is also just a test for the game Rack-O which I am recreating in c. So if I or someone can figure out how to make this code work the full game will also work. NOTE: if my code looks bad its because I am slightly new to coding.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(){
int game = 1;
srand(time(0));
const int MIN = 1;
const int MAX = 60;
int starting_numbers10 = (rand() % MAX) + MIN;
int starting_numbers9 = (rand() % MAX) + MIN;
int sum1;
int sum2;
while(game == 1){
int gamecards = (rand() % MAX) + MIN;
int start;
printf("%d\n", gamecards);
printf("do you want to change numbers 1 or 2 : ");
scanf("%d", &start);
if(start == 1){
sum1 = starting_numbers10 - starting_numbers10 + gamecards;
}
else if(start == 2){
sum2 = starting_numbers9 - starting_numbers9 + gamecards;
}
printf("1 new sum: %d\n", sum1);
printf("2 new sum: %d", sum2); // <-- example of what it prints (523) 52 being its own integer and 3 being the integer that sum1 can become if you select to change sum1
}
}
I have tried many different combinations of the code over the past few days spending hours at a time trying to fix the problem but I never get the problem solved. Most likely I am just too inexperienced to know what to do but I haven't given up trying. But I expect that it shows the 2 random integers and not 3. I also expect the solution to be simple as well.
sum1 and sum2 isn't being initialized when first used.printf("2 new sum: %d", sum2); has no newline character at the end of its format string. This would cause output of printf("%d\n", gamecards); to be mixed with it.
