I have that code and for some reason it is crashing when running, there is no output, it crashes right after executing.

What do you think about it?

this should probably work.

That crashed Ashbad, and so did this:

Code: [Select]

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
 
using namespace std;
 
int main() {
    string helloW = "Hello World";
    int i=helloW.length();
    i=i-1;
    for (i;i>=0;i--)
    {
        if (i<helloW.length())
        {
             printf("%s",helloW[i-1]);        
        }
    }
    cout << helloW.length() << "/n";    
    cout << helloW << "/n";
    cin.get();
    return 0;
}

well obviously this shows that I'm a nub in C++ and unfortunately can't help you

hope someone else can, though. Good luck with finding out where you went wrong!

I'm sure you're pretty good, but thanks anyways!

The printf is not defined in the above sample. You should use cout instead.

cout is standard is C++ courses; printf is standard in C. You shouldn't mix the two if you can help it. C++ streams support output settings to accomplish the output formatting C's printf function supports.

So, there are 2 ways of doing it:

Code: [Select]


#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <stdio.h> 
 
using namespace std;
 
int main() {
    string helloW = "Hello World";
    int i=helloW.length();
    i=i-1;
    for (i;i>=0;i--)
    {
        if (i<helloW.length())
        {
             printf("%s",helloW[i]);        
        }
    }
    cout << helloW.length() << "/n";    
    cout << helloW << "/n";
    cin.get();
    return 0;
}

Code: [Select]

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
 
using namespace std;
 
int main() {
    string helloW = "Hello World";
    int i=helloW.length();
    i=i-1;
    for (i;i>=0;i--)
    {
        if (i<helloW.length())
        {
             cout << helloW[i];        
        }
    }
    cout << helloW << "\n";
    cin.get();
    return 0;
}

Note: That was not the problem, the problem was the 'i' and 'i-1' but telling me that actually made me realise what the error in this piece of code was.

EDIT:

Here is the final code to invert a string input by the user:

Code: [Select]

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
 
using namespace std;
 
int main() {
    string input = "";
    string finalString = "";
    getline(cin, input);
    int i=input.length();
    i=i-1;
    for (i;i>=0;i--)
    {
        if (i<input.length())
        {
             finalString+=input[i];
        }
    }
    cout << finalString;
    cin.get();
    return 0;
}

-------------------------------------
I know want to know how to slow down a C++ loop.
