Thread: Trying to create a 5 element integer array

I cannot seem to get my program to run. I know it seems like a simple program but i am new to this.
I am trying to:

• create a 5 element integer array
• cin 6 numbers
• then cout that array to see what my program looks like at runtime.

but keep getting errors. Here is what i have coded so far:

Code:

#include<iostream>
#include<string>

using namespace std;
using std::cin;

int main()
{

	//n is an array of 5 elements.
	int firstString[5];

		
		cin >> int;
		cout << firstString << endl;
		cout << endl;

		cout << "firstString is: " << firstString << endl;
		cout << endl;

	for (int i = 0; firstString[i] != '\0'; i++)
		cout << firstString[i] << ' ';
		cout << endl;
	
  
	return 0;
}

Code:

#include<iostream.h>
#include<string>
#define SIZE 5
int main()
  {
  int firstString[SIZE]={0};  //store array of ints
  int i;
  for (i = 0; i<6 ; i++)   //take in six numbers
    cin >> firstString[i];

  cout << "firstString is: " << endl;  //output message

  for (i = 0; i < SIZE ; i++)     //output original array
    cout << firstString[i] ;
  getchar();
return 0;
}

I don't know if this will help you?. I did this in c++builder in a console and the input i tried was 1 2 3 4 5 6 . The output was 1 2 3 4 5 . It doesn't store the last character entered because the original array was only 5 in size.

The word "string" normally refers to a string of characters (text). It is an array of characters. Usually a series of numbers in an array is not called a string. Just a tip to help in communicating with other programmers.
