I just know the basic c ++

int main()

string lastname, firstname, middlename;

cin >> lastname >> firstname >> middlename;

that easy, but what can I do if I want come out firstname, lastname, middlename and initial name?

Thank

PHP Code:

---

main()
{
  /* Your Variables */
  int FirstName;
  int LastName;
  int MiddleName;
  int InitialName
  
  /* Your Basic Code */

  cout << "enter first name" << endl;
  cin >> FirstName;
  cout << "enter last name" << endl;
  cin >> LastName;
  cout << "enter middle name" << endl;
  cin >> MiddleName;
  cout << "enter initial name" << endl;
  cin >> InitialName;

  /* Show The Info */

  cout << " Your Name Is" << FirstName << MiddleName << LastName << InitialName << endl;

  Return 0;

And there ya have it, Enjoy :)

Bah crap sorry I didnt read your whole post, I dont have time right now to re write another block of code, sorry :( just ignore my last post

theres only one thing u need to do....where FunyBunyFartAHH put this

Code:

---

cout << " Your Name Is" << FirstName << MiddleName << LastName << InitialName << endl;

---

just change it to

Code:

---

cout << " Your Initials are " << FirstName[0] << MiddleName[0] << LastName[0] << InitialName[0] << endl;

---

that will print out the first element in the name event for example

Code:

---

string myName = "RabidChimp"

cout << myName[0];    //would print out "R"

---

hope this helps:D


oh and one more thing FunyBunyFartAHH why in the world are u using int's to store the name?????:p

it was night time, I was on nyquil -_-, there is your answer ^^

*rolling on the floor laughing*

LOL!!:D

you also forgot a semicolon and u returned 0 when u didn't specify main as int

Nyquil must suck LOL!

Thank FunyBunyFartAHH!
So the output print out

firstname
lastname
middlename

and automatic come out initial first letter of firstname, lastname and middlename?


main()
{
/* Your Variables */
string FirstName;
string LastName;
string MiddleName;
string InitialName,

/* Your Basic Code */

cout << "enter first name" << endl;
cin >> FirstName;
cout << "enter last name" << endl;
cin >> LastName;
cout << "enter middle name" << endl;
cin >> MiddleName;
cout << "enter initial name" << endl;
cin >> InitialName;

cout << " Your Initials are " << FirstName[0] << MiddleName[0] << LastName[0] << InitialName[0] << endl;

Return 0;

Thank RabidChimp
:)

BTW the naked

main()

is more C syntax than C++ syntax. The correct declaration in C++ is

int main()

or

int main(int argc, char **argv)

and always have a

return 0;

at the very end of the main function.


RabidChimp: at least FunyBuny was right with the return 0;. In C, if no return type is specified, int is assumed.
