Question

I need to be able to store 5000 names into an array. I currently have a code that generates one random name. I just need to generate an array of 5000 the same way.

#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;

string RandomFirstGen(int namelength);

int main(){

srand(time(NULL));
int namelength = rand()%(16-8+1)+8;
cout<<"name is: "<<RandomFirstGen(namelength)<<endl;

return 0;
}

string RandomFirstGen(int namelength){
for (int i=0; i<=5000 ; i++){
const int MAX = 26;
char alphabet[MAX] = {
'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g',
'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n',
'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u',
'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z'};
string name = "";
for (int i = 0; i < namelength; i++)
name = name + alphabet[rand() % MAX];
return name;

}
}

using namespace std;

string RandomFirstGen(int namelength);

int main(){

        srand(time(NULL));
        int namelength = rand()%(16-8+1)+8;
        //created array with 5000 to store names
        string arr[5000];
        //iterating 5000 times to generate names
        for(int i=0;i<5000;i++){
                namelength = rand()%(16-8+1)+8;
                //getting the name and putting in the array
                arr[i]=RandomFirstGen(namelength);
        }
        //printing the 5000 names
        for(int i=0;i<5000;i++)
                cout<<"name "<<i+1<<" is: "<<RandomFirstGen(namelength)<<endl;

        return 0;
}

string RandomFirstGen(int namelength){
for (int i=0; i<=5000 ; i++){
const int MAX = 26;
char alphabet[MAX] = {
'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g',

'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u',
'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z'};
string name = "";
for (int i = 0; i < namelength; i++)
name = name + alphabet[rand() % MAX];
return name;

}
}
