c - Loop to create random numbers, read from existing array, then create new array -- Stuck in While-Loop -

I have the dodgy of a puzzle conceptually, I think I know what I should do. Code-wise, I'm not so sure

I go through the AVAIL_NURSE_W1 [] array (which holds the number that corresponds to which the nurse is available on Week_1 ), In order to decide on a slot in order to generate a random number that array (if the slot has zero values, then generate another random number and try again), take that number (which is a Nurse), and put it in the Monday [] array Received.

Related-code:

  int main () {int randomNurse (); Srand (time_t (zero)); / * 0 = Dennis, 1 = Inja, 2 = Jane, 3 = Karen, 4 = Maggi, 5 = Margaret, 6 = MJ, 7 = Queen, 8 = Sherry * / / * ----- WEEKLY_ASSIGNMENT - - - / * AVAIL_NURSE_W1 [] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}; // Nurses that work in the first week for each week / * holds numeric values ​​of the scan (; column & lt; integer column = 0 4; column ++) {(for integer number = 0; number From & lt; 9; number ++) {if (AVAIL_NURSE_W1 [num] == [0] [select column]) AVAIL_NURSE_W1 [num] = 0; }} / * ----- Monday ----- / * Monday Monday [5]; Number of jobs on a particular day for the day of the day (integer E = 0; E & LT; 5; E ++) {// Loop for Monday posts while (Monday [E] == 0) {int Temp_assign = randomNurse (); If (AVAIL_NURSE_W1 [temp_assign]! = 0) {// Nurse is available ... Monday [E] = AVAIL_NURSE_W1 [temp_assign]; AVAIL_NURSE_W1 [temp_assign] = 0; // We do not want nurses to repeat} and (continued); }} 0 return 0; } / * To generate random nurse in the function * / int randomNurse () {return rand ()% 9; // Random Number 0-8, to take a nurse}  

My question:
I have available nurses to AVAIL_NURSE_W1 [] Array generates a random number that decides to accept a slot, takes that value, stores it in a new array in Monday [] ; If the value is zero in the AVAIL_NURSE_W1 [] array, repeat the above process, unless it has been chosen as a non-zero value; After I select a value, I will change the selected value to zero and then go through the loop again.

desired result
Monday [] The array should have five non-zero integers, no repeats.

So far, it seems that while the position of the loop never changes

Tell me if there is a need to say something else. I hope I have given enough information.

Here you can go:
