    Array Indices
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on troubleshooting a for loop in C++ that is intended to shift the index of an array based on user input. The initial code contains a logical error in the for loop condition, using "s == b" instead of a condition that allows the loop to iterate. After realizing this mistake, the user corrected the code, which resolved the issue and allowed the program to function as intended. The conversation highlights the importance of proper loop conditions in programming.

So I am trying to use for loops to shift the index an array by a user inputted value. The code i have so far is
printMessage();
cin >> choice;
if(choice == 2){
cout << endl;
cout <<"Please enter the desired number of shifts:" << endl;
cin >> b;
int s;
for (s = 0; s == b;s++) {
cout << message[s + b];
}

}
When I try to compile it, it doesn' cout the message. The input from the message occurs earlier in the code.

Have a think about why you put s == b in the for loop. It doesn't make any sense at all.
 
yeah, right after i posted the thread i realized that and fixed it and now it works. thanks though.
 
Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...
I have a quick questions. I am going through a book on C programming on my own. Afterwards, I plan to go through something call data structures and algorithms on my own also in C. I also need to learn C++, Matlab and for personal interest Haskell. For the two topic of data structures and algorithms, I understand there are standard ones across all programming languages. After learning it through C, what would be the biggest issue when trying to implement the same data...
