Thread: uhh prob w/ code

Darnit!!!
For some reason it goes ahead and skips the amount of times its supposed to loop. Heres the code. Try your best to reply as fast as you can!!



Code

#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
int time = 0;
char name[500];
int times;
clrscr();
cout<<"First type a sentence>";
cin>>name[500];
cout<<"Now type the number of times you want your sentence to appear>";
cin>>times; //It just aint readin dis
cout<<"Good, now press a key and sit back.......";
getch();
clrscr();
while (time != times)
{
time = time + 1;
int x = rand() % 80;
int y = rand() % 24;
gotoxy(x, y);
cout<<name;
}
getch();
return 0;
}


please help me

Umm, this is just a guess, but I think you might need to replace this line...
cin>>name[500];

with this...

cin>>name;

If that doesn't work, try the C++ board.

Here is no error with loop. Loop is working perfectly.

It's because of
{
gotoxy() ... and
int x = rand() % 80; /**/
int y = rand() % 24; /**/
}

and this receives a word from keyboard.
cin>>name[100] ;

What did you want to with gotoxy().. ?
