See i want my program to creat random accounts till 4 digits excluding MG- at the begining like i want it to make account like:
MG-3445
MG-3425
can somoene help me i tried real hard i cant get it to work like this.
then just to let you know later on when the user type the account number it will look at the fisrt 3 characters MG- then it will know it has to go to manager account. but if it SC- at the begining then it will take them to Savings and chequings account. its sound a bit complicated Rolling Eyes lol

Well you should just put the randomly generated accounts in an array and check the array against what they entered. Post some code so we know what you mean.

ok. in a loop create a random integer and pass the value to a string which already includes the prefix you want.
accountnum will of course be a string var, and prefix would also be one, with a value like "MG" You could also create the other types of accounts by changing the prefix that is used

code:

accountnum (a) := prefix + "-" + intstr (randomnumber)

I think this is what he meant:
code:

var accountnum : array 1 .. 10 of string
var prefix : string := "MG"
var randomnumber : int
for a : 1 .. 10
    randint (randomnumber, 1000, 9999)
    accountnum (a) := prefix + "-" + intstr (randomnumber)
    put accountnum (a)
end for

Just an FYI, Rand.Int(low, high) is easier to use, because it is a function instead of a procedure. This way, your code would look like this (much shorter)

code:
var accountnum : array 1 .. 10 of string
var prefix : string := "MG"
for a : 1 .. 10
    accountnum (a) := prefix + "-" + intstr (Rand.Int (1000,9999))
    put accountnum (a)
end for

this is indeed what I meant, I was just hoping that you could come up with that yourself though.
