edit: but with a buffer size of 8 you can only type a string 7 chars long. the 8th is reserved for null-termination character.Code:cin >> binary[7]; //should be cin >> binary;
edit: another question. Have you covered any loop structures. do-while, while, or for?

I think the if/else if statement could work but would be an extremely round about way to get there, though. Probably what my instructor wants... But I'm still getting the same error message: Stack around the variable 'binary' was corrupted.
Is the for statement the only way to get around that?
The error message is because to are typing to much data for the array.
If you have
You are only able to useCode:char binary[7];
binary[0]
binary[1]
binary[2]
binary[3]
binary[4]
binary[5]
binary[6] much be empty for the '\0' null-termination character.
This i believe is called a buffer over-run.
Oh, so that's what the book meant then. It works now that I extended the boundary of the char. Thanks so much Raigne. But I think I prefer your method. It's much neater. Now that means more time spend to finish the rest of my homework. But thanks again Raigne.
Anytime. Best of luck to you
