I only bought DarkBasic like 2 days ago and I came up with this program;

dim lotto$(49)

lotto$(1)="1"
lotto$(2)="2"
lotto$(3)="3"
lotto$(4)="4"
lotto$(5)="5"
lotto$(6)="6"
lotto$(7)="7"
lotto$(8)="8"
lotto$(9)="9"
lotto$(10)="10"

lotto$(11)="11"
lotto$(12)="12"
lotto$(13)="13"
lotto$(14)="14"
lotto$(15)="15"
lotto$(16)="16"
lotto$(17)="17"
lotto$(18)="18"
lotto$(19)="19"
lotto$(20)="20"

lotto$(21)="21"
lotto$(22)="22"
lotto$(23)="23"
lotto$(24)="24"
lotto$(25)="25"
lotto$(26)="26"
lotto$(27)="27"

lotto$(43)="43"
lotto$(44)="44"
lotto$(45)="45"
lotto$(46)="46"
lotto$(47)="47"
lotto$(48)="48"
lotto$(49)="49"

print "Your 1st lottery number- ",lotto$(rnd(49))
print "Your 2nd lottery number- ",lotto$(rnd(49))
print "Your 3rd lottery number- ",lotto$(rnd(49))
print "Your 4th lottery number- ",lotto$(rnd(49))
print "Your 5th lottery number- ",lotto$(rnd(49))
print "Your 6th lottery number- ",lotto$(rnd(49))
print
print "PRESS ANY KEY TO EXIT."
suspend for key

NOW, my problem is, when i made an executable, i works fine until i reach the 4th number, it prints it but with no number and then the 5th number line overlaps it for some reason. Could any of you guys out there help me???
One more thing, how do i stop 1 number bieng pickeed twice, or all the numbers being the same??

THX for any help, Mark

rnd(49) picks a random number from 0 to 49, and the 4th number in your program comes out as zero. Change lotto$(rnd(49)) with lotto$(rnd(48)+1). To stop rnd picking the exact same sequence of numbers each time u gotta use randomize. Always put this at start of any program that uses rnd: RANDOMIZE TIMER()

But why you defining an array with same value as the index?

Try this:

Easier to go into shop and buy a 'lucky dip'

U shud get out of the habit of using string variables to represent numbers. This will spell only trouble since it is more difficult to do arithmetic on a number inside of a string. You can display a number variable on the screen by using the print command.

heres some small additions to your program to save the hassle of long winded declarations
