Help with array in c++?

Hey im doing this program and i really need some help.





The program is to store alphabet as characters in an array


it must also:


Print the alphabet


Print the first 6 characters


the last ten characters


and the tenth character





Here is what i done so far








#include%26lt;iostream.h%26gt;





int main()


{





char alpha[27]={'a','b','c','d','e',


'f','g','h','i','j','k','l','m',


'n','o','p','q','r','s','t','u','v',


'w','x','y','z','\0'};





cout %26lt;%26lt; "The alaphabet is\n"%26lt;%26lt; alpha %26lt;%26lt;endl;








return 0;


}





The code above only prints the alphabet i think i should use something call pointers or summin to output the other characters but i don't know how

You've done a good job so far, now it's just a matter of calling the right characters to print.





You will want to do a print statement something along these lines:





Print the first 6 characters:


int k;


for (k =0; k %26lt; 6; k++)


{


cout %26lt;%26lt; "The first 6 characters are\n"%26lt;%26lt; alpha[k]%26lt;%26lt;endl;


}








Print the last 10 characters:


int j;


for (k=27; k%26gt;=18; k --)


{


cout %26lt;%26lt; "The last 10 characters are\n" %26lt;%26lt; alpha [k]%26lt;%26lt;endl;


}





Print the 10th character:


cout %26lt;%26lt; "The 10th character is: " %26lt;%26lt; alpha[9]%26lt;%26lt;endl;








You might need to change the syntax up a little bit but this should give you general information and help about how to set up these simple print statements.





I hope this helps

Reply:You need to loop through every value in the array.





cout %26lt;%26lt; "The alphabet is\n";





for(int i= 0; i %26lt; 26; i++)


{


cout %26lt;%26lt; alpha[i] %26lt;%26lt; endl;


}
Reply:You don't need pointers for this particular exercise.


//first 6


for(int i=0;i%26lt;6;i++)


cout %26lt;%26lt; "Letter " %26lt;%26lt; (i+1) %26lt;%26lt; " is " %26lt;%26lt; alpha[i] %26lt;%26lt; endl;


//last 10


for(int i=15;i%26lt;26;i++)


cout %26lt;%26lt; "Letter " %26lt;%26lt; (i+1) %26lt;%26lt; " is " %26lt;%26lt; alpha[i] %26lt;%26lt; endl;


//10th


cout %26lt;%26lt; "The 10th Letter is " %26lt;%26lt; alpha[9] %26lt;%26lt; endl;
Reply:why dont you use for loop?


If you wanna print t, u,w,x,y,z then a for loop that counts 6 elements from the index of element you want to print, and then just print inside the for loop.


something like this:


for(counter = 22;counter%26lt;28;counter++)


{


cout%26lt;%26lt;alpha[counter] + "\n";


}


this prints from the index 22 to 28 in different lines. and you know how to change it so it prints in oneline.


hope it helped and good luck
