I'm having some trouble with STL lists. What I want to do in my program is take the players initial and put it into an array at the spot that they got from when I divided up 20 numbers (0-19). Can anyone tell me why line 151 (in this post …

I'm wondering why it prints so many spaces when I only ask it to print one. Here's the code: [code=cplusplus]#include <iostream> #include <string> using namespace std; string ar[21] = " "; int main() { ar[3] = "M"; ar[4] = "n"; for(unsigned int i=0 ; i<20 ; i++) { cout << …
