By random two numbers after another can be the same. That is random. Try rolling the dice. At some point you will get the same number again.

You could save the last number and compare it with the new random number. If they are the same get a new random number.

You are right, we must put "a=0" at the start of the main loop, not outside; else, when some replacement is done, "a" will never go back to 0 and infinite loops are executed. So put at line 20: a=0; printf("%d %d %d %d\n", RemainerOfRandom2[0],RemainerOfRandom[1], RemainerOfRandom[2],RemainerOfRandom[3]); and you will see how many loops are performed and when some digits are replaced.

In your code there are 3 bugs: BUG 1 -> internal loop at line 23: for(j=i+1;j<3;j++) { replace 3 with 4, else last digit is never checked for equality with the previous 3 digits BUG 2 -> line 34: else if(f>=5) replace with else if(f<=5), else if f<=5 it will be never replaced BUG 3: after replacing f you must check again the 4 digits for equality; a not elegant way of doing this is adding a goto to line 21 soon after having replaced f; another way is introducing an outer loop "while (need_further_check)" before line 21, and set need_further_check everytime you replace f, where need_further_check is a bool

Unfortunately you made again two bugs. BUG 1 - you are defining a variable "bool a =..." which is not seen by the outer while: the outer while sees the "int a" defined at the top of the program. So please remove the two "bool" BUG 2 - you are inverting the assignment: replace a=0 with a=1 (which means loop again) and replace a=1 with a=0 (which means stop looping). But also in this way we could have some cases in which "else a=0" hides a previous a=1, leaving sporadic cases in which there are two equal digits. So the best solution is: remove the "else a=0" to avoid hiding set a=0; before the loop use a do while instead a while in order to exec the loop at least once: a = 0; do { ....; a=1 if some replacement is done, in order to recheck; .... } while (a); Happy coding!

line 38: if you have done a replacement, you want to check again; so a must be put to 1, not to 0

You welcome! There is yet another little issue, if you really want to emulate a die. You should reenter the main loop even if some digit is equal to 0 or 7 or 8 or 9 :-),

The four numbers must simulate dices or not? If yes you have to discard all the numbers outside the range 1-6
