Question

Write a C++ program that simulates playing the Powerball game. The program will generate random numbers to simulate the lottery terminal generated numbers for white balls and red Powerball. The user will have the option to self-pick the numbers for the balls or let the computer randomly generate them.

Set the Grand Prize to $1,000,000,000.00 in the program.

Project Specifications

Input for this project:

• Game mode choice – self pick or auto pick
• Five numbers between 1 and 69 for the white balls (if game mode is self-pick), perform input validation.
• One number between 1 and 26 for the red ball (if game mode is self-pick), perform input validation

Output for this project:

• Game title
• Game rule
• Game result including
  • Prize
  • Sorted user’s numbers
  • Sorted winning numbers

Processing Requirements

1. A function called getArandNum that takes two int arguments that represent a min and max range. This function randomly generates an integer number in the range of min and max and returns it.
2. A function called sortArray that takes an array of type int as its parameter and sorts it using the selection sort. This function does not return anything.
3. A function called compareArrays that takes two int array arguments and an integer for the size of the arrays and returns the number of matching elements of the arrays.

For example if array1 and array2 contain the following values:

array1: 12     3      60    4

array2: 60     12    4      5

Then calling the function compareArrays(arra1,array2,4) should return 3.

4. A function called displayArray that takes two arguments, an int array and an int for the size of the array and displays the content of the array. This function does not return anything.

---------------------I used Visual Studio 2013, C++ Lang, Console App------------

I am new to Powerball game, So i went to their website and understood how the game works, If you don't know just google powerball game rules.
