The saying goes, "A million monkeys at typewrites will eventually write the complete works of Shakespeare." I wanted to see how long it would take. So I wrote this little application that would try to randomly generate a string. So far I can't even generate the string "Monkey" in fewer than 5 million attempts. So I suppose the say might be correct, but a lot of those monkeys are going to die trying too. The usefulness of this code is nearly 0 but it gave me a chance to use arc4random_uniform() which I always enjoy for some reason. As it stands now, the application will not find any punctuation aside from spaces so periods, commas, question marks, and exclamation points will cause the application to hit the 5 million attempt limit and fail. to compile: make to run: ./monkeys.out I have already spelled monkeys, 'mokeys' twice so I expect there are plenty of of spelling mistakes as well.
