C

while(i<k+1)
{
    generate_random_string(str,rand()%n);
    for(j=0;j<n;j++)
    {
        printf("%c",str[j]);
    }
    printf("\n");
    i++;
}

This code produces the substring of the same string what do you think about that?

If this is a question, I missed the point totally. Please elaborate!

Edit: Spelling and grammar, added code tags.
What exactly does generate_random_string do, and why on god's earth are you taking the modulus of rand().

@Manfred... I suppose that is what you think of that... :)

"what do you think about that?"

I think it is damn rude to delete your question when you get a reply to it.
Please do not do it again: the question and reply may help others in the same situation.

I was just going through my comments of today and came to the same conclusion.
The answer given was helpfull indeed. All OP had to do was follow the 6 steps outlined and would have arrived at a solution.

Manfred: At least that answers your questions to him! :laugh:

I agree.

Seems OP isn't going to get the homework done 'til tomorrow and his chances of finding help here are growing dimmer and dimmer. :)
