Thread: Problem with some code

You have nine strings in your program. If you mean what type variable should you have, the answer is "string".

Code:

std::string ms;
ms = "string";
std::cout << ms;

I update the code. Is it a good layout?

Looks good, except the outer switch could be just an if else.

And what does password do?

Password does nothing. I originally put it in there because I thought i needed it but it is unnecessary.

Hmm... So where in my code do you think I should work on spacing? The second switch should be more indented?

Ah I see. Thank's, I dont know very much on code etiquet since I just started. What I envision for this program, which I am still working on, is a program which when started will ask for a master password and then will ask for how many passwords you want to save then ask for the name of each so like "Email" and then ask for the atucal password. Im currently looking up File I/O so I can figure out how to write to and create text files out of the program. Also, I was wonerding, Is there a way to encrypt files? Like say each of the passwords are stored in a file outside the program like a text file. Is there a way so that only the program could access the files so that not any one could just go in an open up the file.

Yeah, thanks, Ill look into that. Im not like encrypting like SS numbers or stuff.

Hm, would it be more logical to store all the passwords and password names in one file or is that hard to access and should be in all seperate files like:
master_password.txt
first_password.txt
first_password_name.txt

This is a code I guess i could use to edit the variables in outside files, tell me how it looks:

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

int input;
std::string master_password;
std::string first_password;
std::string second_password;
std::string third_password;
std::string fourth_password;
std::string first_password_name;
std::string second_password_name;
std::string third_password_name;
std::string fourth_password_name;

int main()
{
    do {
    cout<<"\n";
    cout<<"1.Edit Master password.\n";
    cout<<"2.Edit First password name.\n";
    cout<<"3.Edit First password.\n";
    cout<<"4.Quit.\n";
    cout<<"What would you like to do: ";
    cin>> input;


    switch ( input) {
        case 1:
        {
            ofstream myfile ("master_password.txt");
                    cout<<"Enter the master password you would desire: ";
                    cin>> master_password;
                    myfile << master_password;
                    myfile.close();
                    input<< 0;
            break;
        }
        case 2:
        {
            ofstream fpnfile ("first_password_name.txt");
                    cout<<"\n";
                    cout<<"\n";
                    cout<<"Now enter the name of you first password i.e.'Email': ";
                    cin>>first_password_name;
                    fpnfile << first_password_name;
                    fpnfile.close();
                    input<< 0;
            break;
        }
        case 3:
        {
            ofstream fpfile ("first_password.txt");
                    cout<<"\n";
                    cout<<"\n";
                    cout<<"Now enter the atcual first password: ";
                    cin>>first_password;
                    fpfile << first_password;
                    fpfile.close();
                    input<< 0;
            break;
        }
    }
   } while ( input !=4 );
}

I know the do { isint spaced because It takes to much time.
