Thread: array

can you or someone else explain how that works please

The array has 5 places.
The loop, is controlled by the integer i.

Normally, with a loop

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ( void )
{
	int i;
	for ( i = 0; i < 10; i++ )
	{
		cout << "Message " <<endl;
	}
	return 0;
}

This would print the string, Message, 10 times in a row.
The following code, shows that you can change, or add to the string Message, each time you loop it (providing usefulness).

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ( void )
{
	int i;
	for ( i = 0; i < 10; i++ )
	{
		cout << "Message " << i <<endl;
	}
	return 0;
}

That is what harryp's code is doing.
He created a loop, and it will loop 5 times.
It just happens to be that each time it loops, it will print, to the screen, the next chunk of information in the array.
