[Dev-C++] Array of char

[Exuss D. <dra...@ce...>]

 Hi All!

 Just a simple question. How to assing a value to array of char?
 
 char myValue[20] = "Some text!";
 cout << myValue << endl;

 // This is don't work :((
 myValue="New text";
 
 Works only: cin >> myValue;

  Thanks,

  Exuss

Use strcpy(myvalue, "Some text");
This pass the second value to the first variable. And this works with
spaces. If the second is "Hello  marvellous world", myvalue will be the
whole phrase, not only the first word.
cin >>myvalue; would put in myvalue "Hello", only. Then, for input from
keyboard you need use cin.getline(char array, size of the char array);
cin.getline(myValue, 20);
**input: Hello baby** will put in myValue "Hello baby".

From Kevin Wood ----------------------------

You can use
char MyValue[20]=3D{"Some text!"};
if you want to initialise the array on creation (you can't do this =
later).

Otherwise do
strcpy(MyValue, "Some text");
and make sure there is room in the array for all the characters plus the =
terminating null.=20

RE: [Dev-C++] Array of char

[Ioannis V. <no...@ya...>]

With strcpy() defined in <cstring>, and <string.h>. But better use the
string type defined in <string>. For example:


#include  <iostream>
#include <string>

int main()
{
 using namespace std;
 
 
 string a="This is";
 string b=" a string\n";
 string c;
 

 c=a+b; // c=="This is a string\n"
 a+=b; // a=="This is a string\n"
 
 
 cout<<a<<c;
 
}
