    Help me String not printing :(

    String tel_s is not printing in "conv" function from line no: 76... I m sending tel_s from main to "void conv" which is assigned value there..

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    void conv(string& age_s, string& tel_s, int& age, int& tel, int age_len, int tel_len);
    int intlen(int a);
    void inpt(string& fname, string& lname, string& add, int& age, int& tel);
    
    int main()
    {
        string fname, lname, add, age_s, tel_s;
        int age, tel, age_len, tel_len;
        float sall=0.00;
    
        inpt(fname,lname,add,age,tel);
        age_len=intlen(age);
        tel_len=intlen(tel);
    
        //cout << tel_len << endl << age_len << endl;
        conv(age_s,tel_s,age,tel,age_len,tel_len);
        cout << fname << endl;
        cout << lname << endl;
        cout << add << endl;
        //cout << tel_s << "hi" << endl;
        return 0;
    }
    
    void inpt(string& fname, string& lname, string& add, int& age, int& tel)
    {
       cout << "Enter First name: ";
        getline(cin,fname);
        cout << "Enter Last name: ";
        getline(cin, lname);
       cout << "Enter Address: ";
        getline(cin, add);
        cout << "Enter Telephone no: ";
        cin >> tel;
    
        cout << "Enter age: ";
        cin >> age;
    }
    
    int intlen(int a)
    {
        int b = 0;
        while(a > 0)
        {
            a = a/10;
            b++;
        }
        return b;
    }
    
    void conv(string& age_s, string& tel_s, int& age, int& tel, int age_len, int tel_len)
    {
    
       int temp=0, i=0,j=0;
       temp=tel;
       int div=1;
       char tel_c;
    
       for (j=0;j < (tel_len-1);j++){
       div=1;
       for (i=0; i<((tel_len)-(j+1)); i++)
       {
          div=div*10;
       }
    
        temp =(temp/div);
        cout << "temp: " <<temp << endl << "div: " << div<< endl;
        tel_c=temp+47;
        tel_s[j]=tel_c;
        temp=tel%div;
       }
    
    cout << "his" << tel_s;
    
    }

    Your string has no size when it is passed to the function, and then you try and assign a value to a portion of string at [j], there is no string [j] from waht i can see, so nothing will be assigned.

    try adding a test:

    Code:
       if(tel_s.empty())
    	{
    		tel_s[j]=tel_c;
    	}
    	else
    		cout << "no string size!"

    sorry i had a typo in the example, it should be
    Code:
    if( !tel_s.empty() )

    Nit:
    Code:
    #include <string>
    Even if your code compiles without that line you should still have it in place.

    why dont you understand? You can see in your output that the new if() statement you added fails its condition, and outputs "no string size"

    In the start of your program you declare

    tel_s

    as a string object, then you dont do anything with it, the next time it is used is when you pass it (with NO size, ie meaningful content) to the conv() function.
    So what do you think that means when it gets to the if() test?

    The string is not assigned content in conv(); you cant just say:
    ' assign value of tel_c to tel_s at [j] '
    because tel_s at [j] does not exist

    This should serve to highlight certainly potential problems there are in the usability of your code as well as the example in question. Fair enough, it is not expected you write a huge amount of input validation lines in this type of exercise, but you should be keeping on top of the obvious ones.

    instead of "no string size" change for:
    "No String Size !! Nobody ever gave me any proper content :-( ...y en mis ojos no ha parado de llover :-< \n"

    put this in the "else cout" in your new if() statement if it helps hammer home the point any better in your output
