Question

programming language

Write a program that will generate 5 random numbers between 20 and 80 and assign each to a variable of datatype double. You should use a random number generator seeded with time Using a series of if statements, determine which of the 5 variables contains the smallest value generated Print all five random numbers to the screen and print out the value that you determined was the smallest. All values should be printed with zero decimal places. 2.

Answer 1

Below is your program: -

#include<iostream>
#include<ctime>
#include<cstdlib>
using namespace std;

int main() {
   double a,b,c,d,e;
   srand(time(NULL));
   double min = 20;
   double max = 80;
  
   a = min + rand() % (int)(( max + 1 ) - min);
   b = min + rand() % (int)(( max + 1 ) - min);
   c = min + rand() % (int)(( max + 1 ) - min);
   d = min + rand() % (int)(( max + 1 ) - min);
   e = min + rand() % (int)(( max + 1 ) - min);
  
   double smallest;
  
   if(b > a && c > a && d > a && e > a) {
       smallest = a;
   } else if(a > b && c > b && d > b && e > b) {
       smallest = b;
   } else if(b > c && a > c && d > c && e > c) {
       smallest = c;
   } else if(b > d && c > d && a > d && e > d) {
       smallest = d;
   } else if(b > e && c > e && d > e && a > e) {
       smallest = e;
   }
  
   cout<<"Five randome numbers are : "<<(int)a<<","<<(int)b<<","<<(int)c<<","<<(int)d<<","<<(int)e<<endl;
   cout<<"Smallest number is : "<<(int)smallest<<endl;
   return 0;
}

Output

Five randome numbers are : 65,62,35,59,75
Smallest number is : 35
