    Calling certain characters from a string.

    I'm not sure how to explain what I want to try and do but basically if I have a string of numbers ie: 123456789 I want to be able to call out all the numbers in the odd positions ie 2,4,6,8.

    Any tips or pushes in the right direction?

    Hope that makes sense. Thanks.

    Try this for loop:
    Code:
    {
     int i;
    
      for(i = 1;i < length_of_string;i += 2)
        // code to print number goes here
    }
    If you understand what you're doing, you're not learning anything.

    for ( i = 1 ; i < len ; i += 2 )
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
