Thread: Please tell me why it won't work.

#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
int astring[25];
cout<<"What is your first name: ";
cin>>astring[25];
cout<<"Thank you. "<<astring[25];
return 0;
}

I'd like to know your opinion. So please respond.

First, don't use header files with .h extensions. Use the equivalent headers and read about the using directive here:

http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/ansi/hfiles.html

Second, your program doesn't work because your array is of type int and your asking the user to input their name. Also, after you declare the variable, you just use it's name, not the name with the dimension.

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	char astring[25];

	cout << "What is your first name: ";
	cin.getline ( astring, 25 );

	cout << "Thank you. " << astring << endl;

	return 0;
}

Thanks guys I guess I didn't realize I put in an integer number.
