You are getting this error because you are trying to use the time_t type when a function takes an unsigned int type. If I had to guess, this error is happening at line 25, when you call srand(time(0)); your compiler should tell you exactly where it is.

The reason this is happening is because time functions return a unique type called time_t, whereas srand() takes an unsigned int type. You should be fine, since you're not using time() for any actual time-related purposes. Still, to get that warning to go away, you could try using srand((unsigned int)time(0)), which'll cast the time_t type as an unsigned int type. Good luck!

thanks for the help I used the unsigned int and it went away imagine
and again thanks for the help that lol
