Setting your PIN -exercise

This is my code, in input 4 I should get “4324”. And I have 3120. Run out of ideas. Maybe someone can help ? #include <iostream> #include <cstdlib> using namespace std; int main() { srand(0); int range; cin >> range; range+=1; for (int i=0;i<4;i++) cout <<rand()%range; return 0; }

It appears the actual range is (0, N], i.e. the 0 is exclusive (in case this notation is unfamiliar, parentheses mean the boundary element is not in the range, while a square bracket means it is in the range). That's at least what I figured from the test cases and how I solved the challenge. Therefore, the problem is that you add 1 to the range beforehand, which means you can generate numbers in the range [0, N]. However, if you add 1 after generating the number, the interval equals 1 + [0, N) = 1 + [0, N - 1] = [1, N] = (0, N]. So basically, try adding 1 to the generated number instead of adding 1 to the range.

#include <iostream> #include <cstdlib> using namespace std; int main() { srand(0); int range; cin >> range; //your code goes here for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++){ cout<<rand()%range+1; } return 0; } Good Luck

You must set a PIN for your suitcase that contains 4 digits in the range of 0 to N. Write a program to take the N number as input, generate 4 random numbers from the range and print them sequentially, without spaces. Sample Input 4 Sample Output 4324 //Use rand() function to generate the numbers from required range. srand(0) is used to match the output, so don't change it.//

int main(){ srand(0); int range; cin >> range; for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++){ cout<<rand()%range+1; } return 0; }

Add this for loop to your code for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++){ cout<<rand()%range+1; }

I read the problem and tried to solve it from scratch in VSC so I coded this one, I ran it and everything was OK, My confusion came when I pasted my code in the exercise page and it showed an error, my error was not adding +1 in the for loop 8th line but I don't understand, why do I need to add that +1?, could anyone explain that please? #include <iostream> #include <cstdlib> void PIN(int n){ int pin; srand(0); for(int i = 0; i < 4; i++){ pin = 1+ rand() % n; std::cout<<pin; } } int main(){ int n; std::cin>>n; PIN(n); return 0; }

Working C++ code; #include <iostream> #include <cstdlib> using namespace std; int main() { srand(0); int range; cin >> range; //your code goes here int PIN[4]; for(int i=0; i<4; i++) PIN[i]=1+(rand()%range); cout<<PIN[0]<<PIN[1]<<PIN[2]<<PIN[3]<<endl; return 0; }
