This should work!

I can not figure out why this code compiles but doesn't display what I expect! I thought it would show me five random card picked form the deck.

what does it display

The stander out is blank; I think it is some sort of run time error. The compiler takes the code but the logic is flawed somewhere and I don't know where.

while( success = true);.

Needed To Be

while( success == true);

I can not figure out why this code compiles

It does not compile for me.

for example: you have a method that returns an int (sedd() ), but you don't bother returning anything.

Thanks so much sanndy1911 with that fixed the code works! now I can move on to the next step of displaying the cards and then making a game.

mutexe do you mean the seed() functions? I am using that call to send the current time to srand so that I can randRange any where in main and get a new random number.

Thanks for the help!
