  2.     {
  3.     inventory.push_back("Rusty Armor");
  4.     }
  5.     else
  6.     {
  7.         deleteItem();
  8.     }

uhmmm... If you have a full inventory of items, you get a free Rusty Armor, but if you don't you lose an item?
I think you meant to use inventory.size() != MAX_ITEMS
What are all those if() and array swaps in deleteItem()? It's unreadable, learn how to use loops.

Thank you for responding to my thread. What i was trying to do with the arrays was for example: I want to move everything down one to delete the item that they want to delete. Can you show me how to do this please? Thank you again.

OMG! Why don't you simply use vector's erase() method to delete an inventory item instead of all those assignment statements

Well first:
OMG!!! I dont know what you were trying to mean by OMG and but I did not KNOW about vector erase()!!!!!

2nd Their were 6 armors:

c++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. inventory.push_back("Rusty Armor1");
  2. inventory.push_back("Rusty Armor2");
  3. inventory.push_back("Rusty Armor3");
  4. inventory.push_back("Rusty Armor4");
  5. inventory.push_back("Rusty Armor5");
  6. inventory.push_back("Rusty Armor6");

Time to familiarize yourself with it: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/stl/vector/erase/

If you are not native English then maybe you will not know what OMG means. Here is a link

I was exclaiming great surprise at the inefficiency of the code you posted.

Again thank you for the link but, I dont get what its saying. How would I vector.erase() a variable? Like:

c++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. cout << "What would u like to delete?" << endl;
  2. cin >> anyvar;
  3. // would I put:
  4. vector.erase(anyvar);

Is that right?
