    No, a string or a cstring are containers. Ints and chars are scalars, if you will. You can refer to the i'th character in a string or array of chars using [i] (starting at zero). Those you can cast to ints.

    Yeah, realized that, but I'm using string::at(0) instead of the string [] operator, which will also work:

    Thanks for the help.
