C++ Strings?

Question

I have to take in a a string and scramble it 5 times, using string methods. I have to separate it using 2 radnom num's, and into three parts. It won't execute for some reason. Any help will be appreciated. Here's the code:
cout< cout<<"Enter a phrase to shuffle: ";
getline(cin,phrase_input);

for(int i = 0;i <= 5;i++)
{
beg = phrase_new.substr(0,random_one);
mid = phrase_new.substr(random_one,random_two - random_one);
endphr = phrase_new.substr(random_two,phr_len - random_two);

shuffled_phrased+= endphr;
shuffled_phrased+= beg;
shuffled_phrased+= mid;

}
cout<

Answer 1

first, I assume that somewhere you are copying phrase_input into phrase_new somewhere and just didnt show the code.

second, make sure your random_one and random_two are not greater than the length of the string phrase_new.

third, to loop 5 times, your "for" loop should be "for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++)"

fourth, you need to copy shuffled_phrased back into phrase_new at the end of your loop, so you can repeat the operations on it again.

Do you know how to use a debugger?
If not, I suggest you learn.

A debugger will help you to pinpoint a problem to a specific line of code. Learn to step through the code and verify it is doing what it is supposed to be doing.

Learn to use breakpoints and the call stack.
