Storing in an Array

yeah i got that but it is the last name that messes up when you output it all. the first name comes out fine but the last name dosnt it comes out in odd ascii charactures.

My code works perfectly well. If you please post yours it will be easier to find what you are doing wrong.

my code is the same as yours i think but here it is anyway...

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>

int main()
{

using namespace std;

  char Fname[10];
  char Lname[10];
  char Fullname[20];
  
  
  cout << "First name: ";
  cin >> Fname;
  cout << "Family name: ";
  cin >> Lname;
  
  int i = 0;
  
      while (Fname[i] != '\0') 
      {
          Fullname[i] = Fname[i];
          i ++;
      }
  
  Fullname[i] = ' ';
  i++;
  
  int j = 0;
  
      while (Lname[j] != '\0') 
      {
          Fullname[i] = Lname[j];
          
          j ++;
      }

  cout << Fullname << endl;
   
 system("pause");
}

it also comes up with the first letter of the first name as the second name

Oh, I had done a bracket typo in my code. It is functional now.

The reason it outputted strange characters was that I forgot to terminate the string with a '\0'. And I had forgot to increment i in the last loop. It is getting late.

so what is needed in the code?

yeah i think i got it thanx

Well I did update my code, so just check it. It should be really simple to understand as well.

now i need to re-do the program to show i can use strcyp() n strncat(), all fun

Why are you using c strings? Use std::string and all your problems will go away. With strcyp() and strncat() anyway. That's what it's there for.

I think he needs to do it with strncpy() and strncat() not with strings.
