[RESOLVED] void value not ignored as it ought to be
i have a function that seems simple but you know those simple ones.
Code:
void Vecs (vector <int> & v1, vector <int> & v2, int s1, int s2)
{
for (int i = 0; i < v1.size() and i < v2.size(); i++)
{
v1[i] = srand(s1) % RND_NO_RANGE + 1;
v2[i] = srand(s2) % RND_NO_RANGE + 1;
}
}
i am also getting this error
Code:
ub2.cc: In function ‘void Vecs(std::vector<int, std::allocator<int> >&, std::vector<int, std::allocator<int> >&, int, int)’:
sub2.cc:91: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions
sub2.cc:91: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions
sub2.cc:93: error: void value not ignored as it ought to be
sub2.cc:94: error: void value not ignored as it ought to be
sub2.cc: In function ‘void print_vec(const std::vector<int, std::allocator<int> >&)’:
sub2.cc:107: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions
the warning on 91 is an unwritten function and on 107 i am not sure what the warning is.
could someone help me get rid of this error

Uh, check srand's signature. What you're doing makes no sense. You probably intended to write rand, instead.
Re: void value not ignored as it ought to be
i have changed the srand to rand and now i get another error
Code:
void Vecs (vector <int> & v1, vector <int> & v2, int s1, int s2)
{
for (int i = 0; i < v1.size() and i < v2.size(); i++)
{
if (i < v1.size())
v1[i] = rand(s1) % (RND_NO_RANGE + 1);
if (i < v2.size())
v2[i] = rand(s2) % (RND_NO_RANGE + 1);
}
}
here are the errors

i am not to familiar with using rand i have a seed number and need to use those for each rand, also i have a limit which i am trying to use

i am not to familiar with using rand...
Start by reading the documentation. Trial and error usually doesn't work in programming.
Re: void value not ignored as it ought to be
i have read what i believe to be a good description and sample however when i seem to write my own i get errors first being the "error: void value not ignored as it ought to be" i believe i need a better reference and that is what i am looking for on the internet. could you recommend a reference, or help me find this error.

Link, please.

As usual, your best references are the C (ISO/IEC 9899) and/or C++ (ISO/IEC 14882) standards. Their respective drafts are available online for free.

Your compiler already did that; rand takes no arguments.
Re: void value not ignored as it ought to be
i have found 2 mentions of srand in your reference neither really helped me.
i know i have found the problem but i don't understand why it is happening. can you explain to me why it is happening?

Why are you looking at srand when your error is related to rand?
Regardless, rand takes no arguments.
You, on the other hand, are trying to pass something to it. That's what's causing your error(s).
Re: void value not ignored as it ought to be
ok so guess my question is how to effectively use srand with multiple seeds i have now eliminated my errors but do not fully understand the concept
Code:
void Vecs (vector <int> & v1, vector <int> & v2, int s1, int s2)
{
for (int i = 0; i < v1.size() and i < v2.size(); i++)
{
if (i < v1.size())
{
srand(s1);
v1[i] = rand() % (RND_NO_RANGE + 1);
}
if (i < v2.size())
{
srand(s2);
v2[i] = rand() % (RND_NO_RANGE + 1);
}
}
}
I believe what I need is a good explanation and tutorial

See the MSDN entries for srand and rand. Ignore the MS-specific parts (e.g., *_s versions), of course.
I don't know what kind of "tutorial" you're expecting because it doesn't get any simpler than this.
Re: void value not ignored as it ought to be
Thank you for the links i think i understand srand and rand better. I still don' understand what is wrong with my code thought the one i just put up. rand has no arguments and srand is starting the seed so why is it not working. is there a good way to use 2 seeds
Re: void value not ignored as it ought to be
Code:
void Vecs (vector <int> & v1, vector <int> & v2, int s1, int s2)
{
srand(s1);
for (int i = 0; i < v1.size(); i++)
v1[i] = rand() % (RND_NO_RANGE + 1);
srand(s2);
for (int i = 0;i < v2.size(); i++)
v2[i] = rand() % (RND_NO_RANGE + 1);
}
Ok i think I have everything I need.
Thank you for the references and help microsoft.com was really good for me.
Re: [RESOLVED] void value not ignored as it ought to be
You should only call srand once at the start of the program.
What are s1 and s2 supposed to represent when you call
srand() ?
