it appears that it is supposed to generate ten random numbers with the | character in-between. it looks like the person who wrote this forgot to put in the time as a seed here is a revised program(changes in bold). I thought this because to generate a different number each time you need a changing seed a because they have ctime and time is a common seed It lead me to think that is was a random number program
#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
int main(){
time_t time_;
const int x=7;
const int y=14;
int n[10] = {};
time(&time_);
srand(time_);
for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++){
n[i]= x + rand()%(y - x + 1);
for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++);
{
if(n[i] >= 10)
{
n[i] -= 10;
}
cout << n[i] << " | ";
}
}
}
