strlen in expressions

hi i am trying to make a program do this basically...

int * strlen / strlen * strlen * strlen = an int

i cannot figure out how to write that in code...

i don't know if you cannot use strlen in a "formula" ? or what?

thanks

mathatmatically

(5000 * 8) / (5 * 8 * 8)

obviously using varibles in the program

thanks again

Two methods:

Code:

---

int main( void )
{
        // USING *STRINGS

        char *C_Str1;
        char *C_Str2;
        char *C_Str3;
        char *C_Str4;
       
        // Intitalise the *strings

        std::cout<< (5000*strlen(C_Str1))/(strlen(C_Str2)*strlen(C_Str3)*strlen(C_Str4));



        // USING STD::STRING

        std::string one;
        std::string two;
        std::string three;
        std::string four;

        // Initalise the std::strings
        std::cout<< (5000 * one.size()) / (two.size() * three.size() * four.size());

        return 0;
}

---

Or something to that effect.

Try: x = (a*b)/(c*d*e);

= is for assignment, you can't assign a value to a mathematical calculation, that's why x that gets the value is on the left.

Also use brackets to make the statement non-ambigous.

justforthis1, in the future could you make your titles a little more informative, for example "strlen in a formula" rather than "dumb newb question".

ok thanks, that helps a lot, it works now anyways

sorry about the title, i will do better next time

thanks
