[C Programming]Random Draw

Right, so this past Friday,
before the weekend proper,
I’d put up a poll on Twitter (X) to choose which

Genshin Impact character to draw this time.

But, as it often goes with these things,
I didn’t quite get a conclusive result.

So, in the end, I ended up having to just knock up a
C program myself to make the final decision.

💻Code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void) {
    char names[4][50];  // Store names (up to 49 characters each)
    int n = 4;

    // User input
    printf("Please enter 4 names:\n");
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        printf("Name %d:\n", i + 1);
        fgets(names[i], sizeof(names[i]), stdin);

        // Remove trailing newline from fgets
        size_t len = strlen(names[i]);
        if (len > 0 && names[i][len - 1] == '\n') {
            names[i][len - 1] = '\0';
        }
    }

    // Set random seed
    srand((unsigned int)time(NULL));

    // Select a random index
    int winner = rand() % n;

    // Output result
    printf("\n🎉 Result of the draw! The winner is: %s 🎉\n", names[winner]);

    return 0;
}
