I have a code where it says if it has an odd number of chars, add a random char A-Z heres the code for that:
Code:
if(strlen(message) % 2 == 1)
{ while(message[i] != '\0')
{ i++;
}
message[i] = char((rand() % 26) + 65);
}
When I display that string, it gives me the chars I entered along with the random one but this is what comes out... ABC is the message i entered and R is the random char... I dont know what the other stuff is. This only happens when I add a character.

If you need it here is the entire function...
Code:
void main()
{
int d = 157, n = 2773, e = 17, i = 0, encoded[100];
char message[50];
srand(time(NULL));
for(int trash = 0; trash <= 10; trash++)
rand();
cout<<"Enter a message (no spaces): ";
cin>>message;
cout<<"You entered: "<<message<<endl;
if(strlen(message) % 2 == 1)
{ while(message[i] != '\0')
{ i++;
}
message[i] = char((rand() % 26) + 65);
}
display(message);
}
And here is the function I use to display the string:
Code:
void display(char m[])
{ int i = 0;
while(m[i] != '\0')
{ cout<<m[i]<<" ";
i++;
}
}
The int variables are for later in the program so they dont mean anything now, including the encoded[] array.
