Currently I'm doing an ISU for computer science. I just began comp sci this year so my knowledge on turing is limited. I'm stuck on trying to read a text file and selecting a random word from that text file displaying it scrambled. Eg. Computer is in the text file I want to display the word computer scrambled randomly every time the program runs Any hints on what to do? |

The same thing has been recently asked. Your hint is that a word is a collection of characters. You can access substrings one letter at a time, or in blocks. word(2..3) I think. |

hints: 1) array (id used it because there fun to use) but im sure you can make it without an array. 2) string minipulation (if i could spell) try searching up index and length to start, this program should be a ton of fun to play around with! |
