Xor problems

Hello

Code:

void KeyGen (char* UserName)
{
 int length;
 char * b_name;
 int divider=10;
 int counter;
 char tmp;
 int tmp_int;
 float tot;
 double fract;
 double integer;
 int Serial[10];
 char p_hex[0];
 char * Serial_out;
 int i_integer;
 char tot_hex='0';
 char *FullSerial;
 if(strlen(UserName)>11)
  {
    b_name=new char[strlen(UserName)];
    strxfrm(b_name,UserName,10);
   } 
 else
  {
   b_name=new char[strlen(UserName)];
   strcpy(b_name,UserName);
  }
  length=strlen(b_name); 
  cout << endl;
 

for(counter=0;counter<length;counter++)
   {
     tmp=b_name[counter];
     tmp_int=(int)tmp;
     itoa(tmp_int,p_hex,16);
     tot=(float)tmp_int/10;
     fract=modf(tot,&integer);
     fract=fract*10;
     fract=((int)fract^counter);<--------------
     cout << fract << endl;
    fract=fract+2;
    
    if(fract>=10)
     {
      fract=fract-10;
     }
     
    itoa((int)fract,p_hex,16);
     Serial[counter]=(int)fract;
    }

   cout << "Serial Number : " <<endl;
 
   for(int i=9;i>=0;i--)
    {
     cout << "0" <<Serial[i]<<endl;
    } 
    
   delete b_name;  
}

There is a problem with the line " fract=((int)fract^counter);"
it doesn't always do the right thing...If i type Liquid][Shadow as UserName into the function above i'll get the following as Serial :

02030807070307030607

and this if i do it using Caclulator :

05030807070306030608

so for instance with letter "L",counter=0,fract=6 so
fract=((int)fract^counter) would mean 6 xor 0 ,which is 6,
but instead of 6 i get 5...why is this??

if i pass the letter "l" into it,counter=0,fract=8 so
fract=((int)fract^counter) would mean 8 xor 0,which is 8
and this time my function does output 8

i checked the output using cout << fract;

can someone help me please thnx s


Please use [code][/code]Tags

Insert a breakpoint on the line, and check to make sure fract and counter ARE what you think they are.

I have 2 compiling problems with the code. p_hex array size is 0, I assume that is a typo, what size should it be? And I need the modf() function.

Even if they show correct values when i do cout << fract <<" " << counter << endl; ???

Ithink u might need this first:

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <wincon.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <string.h>

Thanks for helping me

You are absolutely right and i know it can be made much better...but the strange thing is still with the xor...and it seems that it isn't working with garbage even though my code is full of them.......thnx though

Thank u Salem...it was the rounding problem indeed...% solved it thanks again...how stupid of me...
