Scrambling Words

[Shadow22202]

All I need to know how to do is scramble a word such as "Superman" so that each time I run the program is jumbles the word (i.e. punamres or seurmpan). Each run needs to be a different "scramble" Thank you

How about randomly generate characters and build the string?

[Shadow22202]

I need to know how to do that, however I dont think that will work, I need to have a word bank and from that word bank use an array to grab a word then shuffle it.

[Eranga]

What you mean a word bank? You mean you have a bunch of scramble words with you? If so it is too easy.

I would just put the string into a char vector and then just pull out random indexes from it then put that into an array in order. That would work the best. if you want to do your way, which by the way is stupid. then just have your arrays hard coded into the code then just use a switch statement to figure out which one to use.

[Eranga]

Yep, that what I want to figure out pal. If he already stored words, in an array, list, etc.., randomly generate the index and refer that indexed word.

It's much simple, rather generating the random characters.

[Zosden]

Oh I'm sorry I misinterpreted what he meant. I thought he meant he wanted to have a user input words then pick from an array that had the word already scrambled. I apologies for misreading.

[Eranga]

Don't worry pal. Anytime anyone can make mistakes.

Don't worry.

para revolver una palabra yo haria lo siguiente:

Code:

    public int randPos(int max){
        return (int)(max * Math.random());
    }

    public String scrambleString(String inStr){
        char[] chars = inStr.toCharArray();
        for (int i = chars.length - 1; i > 0; i--) {
            int guest = randPos(i);
            char current = chars[guest];
            chars[guest] = chars[i];
            chars[i] = current;
        }
        return new String(chars);
    }

Buena suerte

Dear aleshivan,

Welcome to our community.

I can't understand your language here. I think not only for me, most of us here in this community. So please make all your replays in English, which is everyone can understand.

I hope you get what I say.
