#include <iostream> #include <cstdlib> #include <ctime> int main () srand(time(nullptr)); int arr[ ] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; std::cout << arr[rand()%5]; return 0; }

Zeke, won't that possibly go out of bounds? arr[5] <<<<

@jay it shouldn't because the remainder of a devision by 5 can never be greater than 4.
