    Question help with chars...

    hi all,

    i was just wondering if it was posible to create a char with a name enter by the user e.g.

    if the user enters 'welcome' it will create a char called 'welcome' for example

    Code:
    char name_entered_by_user[255]
    thx for any help just ask if ur not clear on what i mean
    Theres a sucker born every minute, but a swallower is harder to find

    Nope, not possible with C++ as you want it. However, you can kind of fake it with a map
    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <string>
    #include <map>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    int main()
    {
        map<string, string> strings;
    
        // Assume the names are entered interactively ;)
        strings["beep"] = "Beep!";
        strings["boop"] = "Boop!";
        strings["snic"] = "Snickerdoodle!";
    
        map<string, string>::iterator i;
        for (i = strings.begin(); i != strings.end(); ++i)
            cout<< i->second <<endl;
    }
