Thread: Encryption in c++

Hi, i want to make a encryption in c / c++, but when i execute a program print only last char, yes, i know char is a single latter, but when i put std::string text = "som... i can't use this: (int(text));
Help.

Code:

    char text = 'some text';
    
    // Encryption
    int x = (int(text));
    x = x * 8 - 300 * 2;
    cout << x;
    char y = x;
    cout << y;

I'm not entirely sure I understand you goal. If you want to store multiple chars in a variable, you will need to create an array thereof, just like with any other type.

std::string has the c_str method which gives you access to the underlying char array, if that's what you're looking for.
