Char

Try working off of something like this...

Code:

cout << "Enter the sentence you wish to have encrypted." << endl;
	char x[256];
	char str[51];
	cin >> x;
	cout << endl;
	if(strlen(x)>50){
		for(int i = 0; i < 50;i++)
		{
			str[i] = x[i];
		}
	} else {
		for(int j = 0; j < strlen(x);j++)
		{
			str[j] = x[j];
		}
	}
	cout << int(&str) << endl;
	system("pause");
}

This should be somewhat close to what you're looking for... give it a go, change a few things... but it's a start.

Edit: Here it is... sort of.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main(){
    cout<<"Please Enter a sentence no longer than 50 letters,\n and use only lower-case letters, please:\n";
    char sentence[51];
    cin.getline(cin, sentence[51]);
    int A;
    for(A=0; A>50; A++){
        if(sentence[A]=32){sentence[A]=0;}
        if(sentence[A]=97){sentence[A]=01;}
        if(sentence[A]=98){sentence[A]=02;}
        if(sentence[A]=99){sentence[A]=03;}
        if(sentence[A]=100){sentence[A]=04;}
        if(sentence[A]=101){sentence[A]=05;}
        if(sentence[A]=102){sentence[A]=06;}
        if(sentence[A]=103){sentence[A]=07;}
        if(sentence[A]=104){sentence[A]=27;}
        if(sentence[A]=105){sentence[A]=28;}
        if(sentence[A]=106){sentence[A]=10;}
        if(sentence[A]=107){sentence[A]=11;}
        if(sentence[A]=108){sentence[A]=12;}
        if(sentence[A]=109){sentence[A]=13;}
        if(sentence[A]=110){sentence[A]=14;}
        if(sentence[A]=111){sentence[A]=15;}
        if(sentence[A]=112){sentence[A]=16;}
        if(sentence[A]=113){sentence[A]=17;}
        if(sentence[A]=114){sentence[A]=18;}
        if(sentence[A]=115){sentence[A]=19;}
        if(sentence[A]=116){sentence[A]=20;}
        if(sentence[A]=117){sentence[A]=21;}
        if(sentence[A]=118){sentence[A]=22;}
        if(sentence[A]=119){sentence[A]=23;}
        if(sentence[A]=120){sentence[A]=24;}
        if(sentence[A]=121){sentence[A]=25;}
        if(sentence[A]=122){sentence[A]=26;}
        cout<< sentence[A] <<flush;
    }
    int z;
    cin>> z;
}

it says "invalid conversion from void to char" when i try to compile it

watch the parameters you give it,
from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...eamgetline.asp

basic_istream& getline(
char_type *_Str,
streamsize _Count

BTW
the large number of ifs would be well suited for a switch statement

EDIT
2 more things...

for(A=0; A>50; A++)

Did you mean A<=50?

if(sentence[A]=32){

That is assignment, you want comparison
if(sentence[A]==32)

im not that far yet in my studies to know how to use a switch statement
im just using online tutorials to learn

it works if you make 'sentece' a string....

also in your code you are making a little mistake

Code:

if(sentence[A]=32){sentence[A]=0;}

//should be:

if(sentece[A] == 32) { sentence[A] = 0;}

As a side note, strings use the format

Code:

getline(cin, blah, '\n');

rather than

Code:

cin.getline(blah, '\n');

whats funny is...that was the easy part of what i have to do...lol
now i must change the array to one long number, and then code THAT, lol

well if its a string... becoming a number... i am not sure you can do that.. you can try casting

Code:

string word = "blah blah";

cout << int(word) << endl;

// i highly doubt thats gonna work though..
