Thread: arrays

wow im glad i joined this forum haha. ok so my newest problem is with arrays.

#1. somehow the array im getting is -8,5,8,9,9,3,4,6,0 instead of 0-6. i dont even know how its getting 9 slots.

#2. i dont know how to make it so you can pick 1 slot that you want to view. i gave it my best shot but the way I have it my program crashed when you try to choose a slot.

thank you. heres my code:

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main ()
{
	int a;
	int b;
	int x;
	int array [7];
	int *z;
	z = array;

	cout<< "press 1 to see the whole array, press 2 to pick 1 slot.\n";
	cin>> a;

	switch (a) {
		case 1:
			cout<< "this be yo' array dawg:\n";
	for (x = 0; x < 7; x++) {
			cout<< array [x];
			break;
		case 2:
			cout<< "which slot would you like to view? 0-6\n";
			cin>> b;
			cout<< array [*z];
			break;
		default:
			cout<< "NO\n";
			break;
	}
	}
	cin.get();
}
