If so then how I tried using this code but a get an error int myArr [] = {1,3,4,5,6,7,2,8,9,0,89}; cout << myArr [srand]; return 0; This is the error ..\Playground\: In function 'int main()': ..\Playground\:7:25: error: invalid types 'int [11][void(unsigned int)]' for array subscript cout << myArr [srand]; ^ Can anyone help?

0 + ( std::rand() % ( 11 - 0 + 1 ) ) use this instead of your srand. Firstly srand must be followed by paranthesis. since your array has size 11 and random will generate any number you must put some limit. L+(std::rand()%(U-L+1) L lower limit U upper limit
