I am trying to change random character in string randomly. Also program will decide how many character will change randomly. Compiler doesn't see the second for loop. I don't know why? Thank you again
#include <ctype.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
int main() {
char string[10];
srand(time(NULL));
int a;
int count = 0;
printf("Please enter string: ");
scanf("%s", string);
for (a = 0; string[a] != '\0'; a++) {
count++;
}
printf("%d\n", count);
for (int i = 0; i <= count; i + rand() % count) {
string[i];
}
printf("String is: %s ", string);
}

To choose a random char
in a word and replace it with a random char
you can try the following.
#include <ctype.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
int main() {
char string[10];
srand(time(NULL));
int a;
int count = 0;
printf("Please enter string: ");
scanf("%s", string);
for (a = 0; string[a] != '\0'; a++) {
count++;
}
printf("%d\n", count);
char randomletter = 'a' + (random() % 26);
string[rand() % count] = randomletter;
printf("String is: %s ", string);
}
Test
Please enter string: foobar
6
String is: fooiar
Test 2
Please enter string: zoobar
6
String is: zolbar
