Strings: Simple

Hello,

My job is to have a character string called word[4] and to guess what my teacher put in...

So if he puts in DONE for word[4] (caps only) my loop has to keep putting in letters till it matches DONE


im kind of lost so how do U assign the 3 palce of a string a letter ?

char1 = 65;
word[3] = char1;


Im pretty lost we have to use a loop to go through every ANSII character.

You could use:

Code:

---

char alpha[] = {'a', 'b', 'c'...etc

---

And loop through that array, checking for a correct character.

Loopy

Set up a loop for each of his characters
Set up another loop for letters from 'A' to 'Z'
test his character
If his character matches the letter, do what you need to do
Next letter
Next character

It's only a "string" if it's \0 terminated, which in your case it isn't, therefore you're talking about an array of type char.

If you want a string, you need one extra byte to store the \0, and you'd use it like so:

Code:

---

char myword[5];
strcpy (myword, "DONE");

/* OR */
char myword[] = "DONE";
