Problem in a random word function

[klite]

I am creating a program in C and I have a problem in my position where I can find a word at random from a dictionary of previously chosen with another function.

int line_no; 
int i, j; 
char word [20]; 
char caline; 
srand (time (NULL)); 
line_no = rand ()% (long_dic) / / Remember to make a function to find the number of words in the dictionary 
fseek (dic, line_no * long_no, 0); 
rewind (dic); 

while (line_no> 0) 
( 
caline = fgetc (dic); 
if (caline== '\ n') 
line_no -; 
) 

fgets (word, 20, dic); 

for (i = 0; i <long_no; i + +) / / fill the structure test 
( 
es.mot [i] = word [i]; 
) 

es.cache [1] = 1; 

for (j = 1 j <long_no j + +) 
( 
es.cache [j] = 0; 
) 

)

In your prototype, do not put the keyword "struct".
In fact when you make a structure, you define a "type" of variables.

So your prototype will become:

 void m_h (FILE * dic, mcache test long_no int, int long_dic)

Then, place the srand (time (NULL)); to the top of your main (). In fact, you do not make this statement only once per program.

Delcar your structure like this:

  typedef struct (
 char word [20] / / word to guess
 int cache [20] / / if cache letter value 1 otherwise value 0
 MCache);

and then to declare a structure, you will put:
mCache novalueStructure;


and then in your prototype must be put:

void m_h (FILE * dic, mCache test long_no int, int long_dic)

use this :

fgets (word, 20, dic);

 strcpy (test. word, word) / / we copy word 

 test. cache [1] = 1;

 for (j = 1 j <long_no j + +)
 (
 test. cache [j] = 0;
 )
