How to use randomly generated number in switch statement? - c++

Question

i am making a simple program that displays the behaviour of the person from the sentences that i write in switch statement cases. I want to randomly generate a number between 1 and 10 and use it in "switch(this place)". So far, i have written the following code and stuck here..
#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
int rand_range(int low, int high)
{
return rand()%(high-low) + low;
}
int main()
{
srand(time(NULL));
cout<<"Hi!, this program tells you about your behaviour"<<endl;
cout<<"press enter to continue";
cin.get();
switch( )
{
case 1:
{
cout<<"you are rude !";
}
case 2:
{
cout<<"you are smart";
}
case 3:
{
cout<<"you try to prove yourself special all the time";
}
case 4:
{
cout<<"you are good in sarcasm";
}
case 5:
{
cout<<"you look dumb, but deep inside you are intelligent";
}
case 6:
{
cout<<"you are always ready for a debate with someone";
}
case 7:
{
cout<<"you are very lazy";
}
case 8:
{
cout<<"you are dumber than what you look";
}
case 9:
{
cout<<"you always try to help others";
}
case 10:
{
cout<<"you have good decision making capabilities";
}
default:
{
cout<<"something wrong";
}
}
}

In your switch statement in the parentheses you want (rand() % 10) + 1. After you have seeded the random number generator the rand() function will return a number between 0 and RAND_MAX. RAND_MAX is a large number.
To get a random number in a range a standard trick is to use the % operator. rand() % 10 returns a number between 0 and 9 inclusive. Add 1 to get your range of 1 through 10.
