  cin >> FirstName;
  cout << "enter last name" << endl;
  cin >> LastName;
  cout << "enter middle name" << endl;

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

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

just change it to

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

string myName = "RabidChimp"

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

hope this helps


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

So the output print out

firstname

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;

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.
