Please HELP with random numbers

[elbuto00]

Input a number/integer:_____
num1 =
num2 =
num3 =
The Total is:______

Let say I input 50
num1 = 10
num2 = 15
num3 = 25
The Total is: 50

If I input 50 again it should be generate random numbers but still equal to 50 like:
num1 = 20
num2 = 20
num3 = 10
The Total is: 50

What do you need? An algorithm or code?

[elbuto00]

code for C++

[Vidus]

here you go try this

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
using namespace std;

int main() {
srand (time(NULL));
int num,num1,num2,num3;
cout << "input a number \n";
cin >> num;
num1 = rand() % num + 1;
int temp1 = num - num1;
num2 = rand() % temp1 + 1;
num3 = num - (num1 + num2);

cout << "num1 = " << num1 <<  endl;
cout << "num2 = " << num2 <<  endl;
cout << "num3 = " << num3 <<  endl;
cout << "total is " << num1+num2+num3 <<  endl;
return 0;
}

TYVM Vidus!!! It's working Yey!!!! :D appreciate it

[elbuto00]

the codes is not working in Turbo C++

[AbstractionAnon]

Try a better compiler.

Turbo C++ is antiquated.

try changing your the_random function to this

int the_random()
{
    int strlength;
    int item = 0;
    string str;
    char another = 'Y';
    do
    {
         p("\nEnter the string: ");
               cin >> str;
                    strlength= str.length();
                    p("\nThe length of the string is %d.",strlength);
                    cin >> another;
                    if(toupper(another)=='N');
                    {
                                              cout << "Thank You For Using This Program" << endl;
                                              return 0;
                                              }
                                              }while(toupper(another)=='Y');

}

It's working now thnx Vidus

[elbuto00]

This one Vidus in Turbo C it say undefined symbol function_random()/function_exit()/function_count() in module

#include<stdio.h>

#include <string.h>
#define p printf

int function_count();

int function_exit();
//clrscr();
p("*************");
p("\n\nMAIN MENU");
p("*************");
p("\n\nEnter Compilation:\t");
p("a - Count The Characters");
p("b - Random Numbers");
p("c - Exit");
scanf("%d", &z);
if(z=='a')
{
function_count();
}
else if(z=='b')
{
function_random();
}
else if(z=='c')
{
function_exit();
}
function_count();
{
 int strlength;
char *str;
clrscr();
      printf("\nEnter the string: ");
      gets(str);
strlength=strlen(str);

scanf("%d",&num);
num1 = rand() % num + 1;

Lines 11-13: Your forward prototypes should come before main().

line 35,46: You have an extraneous ; This is causing the lines to be interpreted as forward prototypes, not a function header.

Line 48: Do not call srand() within a loop or a random number function. srand() sets the RNG to a particular starting point. Calling srand() repeatedly can cause the RNG to return the same random numbers. srand() should be called ONCE at the beginning of main().

[Duthomhas]

Turbo C++ is ancient.
You'll want to randomize() somewhere at the beginning of main() and call random() to get a random number.
