Personally (and I'll get slammed for this :icon_wink:) I'd use [INLINECODE]printf[/INLINECODE]. It's designed for formatted output, rather than that convoluted [INLINECODE]cout [/INLINECODE]mess.

[INLINECODE]if (islower(x))[/INLINECODE] can be written [INLINECODE]if (x >= 'a' and x <= 'z')[/INLINECODE]

Each letter (in fact each character) has a specific numeric value. Each character can therefore be used as an index into an array in which you can increment the appropriate element. Then run through the array when done and output the values you need. Unzip and run the attached program …

Start by writing a program that accepts parameters on the command line and prints them out. Once that's working, check the parameters to see what they are and output messages for each so you know you are analyzing the parameters correctly. Then open the file, read it, and display it. …

So why can't these 40000 people be deleted? Or is the number helpful in marketing the site?

You should not be opening the same file for reading and writing. Use [inlinecode]fout[/inlinecode] to write each line read (changed and unchanged) to a new file. When done, delete the old file and rename the new file. Also, [url=http://www.gidnetwork.com/b-58.html]read this[/url] about [inlinecode].fout()[/inlinecode] (which is identical to [inlinecode]feof()[/inlinecode].

#1) You can't use [I]strcat[/I] on [B]strings[/B]. Only with [B]char*[/B].

[QUOTE=gator6688;452997]The program will stop if any other integer is entered except 1-4. My next question is this. Is there a way to ask the user to reenter the number instead of just ending the program?[/quote] Yes. You put the input in a [I]while[/I] loop and don't exit the loop until …

Why is [I]LetterToMatch[/I] defined as an array of one [I]char[/I]? Why not just define it as a [I]char[/I] and it won't be a pointer, correcting some of the errors.

Is there something about the background text you didn't understand on the input box. or the [B][I]Read Me: Read This Before Posting[/I][/B] link at the top of the forum?

Write another function that simply prints out the double values by converting to ints. Then at all places you output the values, call the function instead.

A couple problems with your functions: [CODE=c] int readBig(int[]) // what's the variable name being passed in? { // same with addBig() string num; int n[MAX_DIGITS],i; cin>>num; for(i=0;i<MAX_DIGITS;i++) // what if you enter less than MAX_DIGITS digits? { n[i]=num[MAX_DIGITS-1-i]-'0'; cout<<"n["<<i<<"]"<<n[i]<<"\n"; } // This is an INT function -- you must …

It's because [B]cin >>[/B] leaves junk in the input buffer when the command is finished. Use [B]getline()[/B] instead, but you will have to remove the trailing '\n' that's in the string you read, which is an easier problem to deal with, IMAO.

As a simplistic explanation, each time you call the recursive function, a [I]new[/I] copy of the function is created, including new variables. The values of the variables in the previous copy are not destroyed, so when the new function returns, the values are as they were before the call was …

So why not use [code] cout << "The first and third letters in the entered words are: " << static_cast<unsigned char> list[1][1] << list[1][3]; [/code] to display the 1st and 3rd letters of word #2?
