integer array to char array?

**DJPlayer** · 10-19-2009

I'll explain basically what I'm doing.. Since I'm just looking for a step I don't think any code needs to be posted.

I took a user input and turned it into a integer array (I needed to run some arithmetic operations on the single input). So now I have an integer array w/ stored #'s in each slot. I need to cout corresponding character arrays depending on the value of or each slot of the integer array.

so as an example: user input's 123. then I turn into a integer array so that I can add 1+2+3=6 and store that value. Each natural number corresponds to a word that needs to be put together in a single cout statement. I just need a way to reference each value in the int array to a single char array each.

thanx for any help

Just subtract '0' from each character's value, and loop through the character array. No need to make it an int array.

I should explain what I have:

int array[5] // each of the spaces has an integer value in it, say "1,2,1,2"

char one[5]="blah"
char two[5]="wassa"

now I want to cout "blah wassa blah wassa" b/c user the inputted 1,2,1,2

I figured several if statements but I need to reference them properly.

then I turn into a integer array

So, you're able to turn into an integer array? Wow, cool! And it's not even Halloween yet!

I'd take it one step at a time. If you need a digit turned into a char, just add 48 (or '0'), to it. Using something like strtol(), or atoi(), is a lot easier for multi-digit numbers.

Your description of the word requirements seems to indicate you need a 2D char array, organized like:

Code:

words[0][] == "zero"
words[1][] == "one"
words[2][] == "two"
//etc.

Hope that helps.

As much as I enjoy your "blah wassa, blah wassa" cout (clearly the funniest I've heard in awhile), you need to use an index into a 2D char array, to do what you want.

If I understand it correctly.

sounds good, I'll give the 2D array a shot then.. thanx
