k hi every1, im kinda new to C++, anyways..this is an assignment for my college.
im supposed create a program that displays the username in a "creative" way.
so first thing is do i use the get and ignore functions to get the initial if the user enters the whole name?
and if so then how do i display the name creatively?k does anyone know how to display a letter with '*'s? for example, say the letter C
*********
*
*
*
*
*********
> how to display a letter with '*'s? for example, say the letter C
something like this, perhaps?
#include <iostream>
enum { HEIGHT = 8, WIDTH = 8 };
const char* const C_bitmap[HEIGHT] =
{
"********\n", "********\n",
"**\n", "**\n", "**\n", "**\n",
"********\n", "********"
};
int main()
{
for( int i=0 ; i<HEIGHT ; ++i )
std::cout << C_bitmap[i] ;
std::cout << '\n' ;
}hey thanks..but i dont understand what you have done...???im really sorry.im a super beginner!and also when i complile no errors but wen i build it i get 4 errors!why??so lets say if i want to hav the letter D il have to do the whole "*********\n", "** **\n", ..... thing is it??

what are the errors? and which compiler are you using?

yes, you need one pattern for each letter. and a look-up mechanism to get to the right pattern given a particular letter.

perhaps you could attempt something simpler. eg. display a name like this:
***********************

* Aureliano Buendia *
