    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...
What percentage of programmers have learned to touch type? Have you? Do you think it's important, not just for programming, but for more-than-casual computer users generally? ChatGPT didn't have much on it ("Research indicates that less than 20% of people can touch type fluently, with many relying on the hunt-and-peck method for typing ."). 'Hunt-and-peck method' made me smile. It added, "For programmers, touch typing is a valuable skill that can enhance speed, accuracy, and focus. While...
I had a Microsoft Technical interview this past Friday, the question I was asked was this : How do you find the middle value for a dataset that is too big to fit in RAM? I was not able to figure this out during the interview, but I have been look in this all weekend and I read something online that said it can be done at O(N) using something called the counting sort histogram algorithm ( I did not learn that in my advanced data structures and algorithms class). I have watched some youtube...
