Word Grabber

I want to write a C++ program that randomly selects one word from a list of words that i have somewhere in the source code.

I was wondering how to write this program, I am very new to programming and i was wondering if any one has a basic code like this, or if anyone can help me in anyway.

Here try this simple example :) :

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <time.h>

using namespace std;

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
        vector<string> test;

        test.push_back("Test0");
        test.push_back("Test1");
        test.push_back("Test2");
        test.push_back("Test3");
        test.push_back("Test4");
        test.push_back("Test5");
        test.push_back("Test6");
        test.push_back("Test7");
        test.push_back("Test8");
        test.push_back("Test9");

        size_t size = test.size();
       
        srand(time(0));
        int index = rand() % size;
        cout<< "Random value: " << test[index].data();



        return 0;
}

My C++ Compiler said that had about 32 errors Why?

Well it would be useful to know which compiler you use
and more important, what this 32 Errors are in particular!
I would recommend you to read some basic stuff about c++
programming.
