Reading sentences in with char array

I know that i could use a string data type but please don't give that as a solution because strings haven't been covered yet in the book. when i print out the array now, only the first word that is entered shows up. i realize that i have the code set to change every letter to upper case but i was just doing that to test. how do i write code to only change the first letter of each word to upper case using char arrays?

here is code so far: i'm supposed to change the first letter of each word to capital case.

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

void upper (char[]);

int main()
{
        char proper[21];

        cout << "Enter a word: ";
        cin >> proper;

        upper(proper);

        return 0;
}

void upper (char prop[])
{
        for (int i = 0; i < 21; i++)
        {
                if (prop[i] == 0)
                        break;

                prop[i] -= 32;

                cout << prop[i];
        }
}

You could use a loop. Your code reads in one word. You need to loop and keep reading in words.

Or, if you've learned getline, you can use getline to read the entire line (including spaces). If you're only supposed to upper case the first letter of each word, you'd have to add code to figure out where each new word starts.

how do i figure out where each new word starts using code?

How do you, yourself, figure out where each new word starts?
