C++: Why does space always terminate a string when read?
- by Nullw0rm
Using type std::string to accept a sentence, for practise (I haven't worked with strings in C++ much) I'm checking if a character is a vowel or not. I got this:
for(i = 0; i <= analyse.length(); i++) {
if(analyse[i] == 'a' || analyse[i] == 'e' [..etc..]) {
...vowels++;
} else { ...
...consenents++;
}
This works fine if the string is all one word, but the second I add a space (IE: aeio aatest) it will only count the first block and count the space as a consenent, and quit reading the sentence (exiting the for loop or something).
Does a space count as no character == null? Or some oddity with std::string?, It would be helpful to know why that is happening!
