Please be patient with me for this is my time posting and I am still in the primitive stages of programming.
I am using C++ VS. Thus far, the code I have written will prompt for a users first name, last name and telephone number(without dashes or parenthesis). The output begins with the users phone number, then display users full name then reverse the users name.
I have 2 problems: 1. My code will reverse the users full name (i.e Doe, Jane) but I need it to reverse those names (i.e eoD enaJ) and I am at a stand still because it's "just not coming to me" as far as what I need to do to make this happen. Can I use an array to do this?
2. I want to keep prompting the user for a phone number in the event they use less than 10 numbers for their phone number or if the accidentally type a letter. I tried to put an if/else statement but no luck
//Declared Variable
string firstName = "";
string lastName = "";
string fullName = "";
string phoneNum = "";
char ans;
//Get information from user
do
{
cout<<"Enter your first name: ";
cin>>firstName;
cout<<"Enter your last name: ";
cin>>lastName;
cout<<"Enter 10 digit phone number(without dashes or parenthesis): ";
cin>>phoneNum;
cout<<" \n";
//manipulate data to be output
if(phoneNum.length()==10)
{
phoneNum.insert(0,"(");
phoneNum.insert(4,")");
phoneNum.insert(8,"-");
cout<<"Your phone number is: "<<phoneNum<<endl;
}
fullName = firstName + " "+lastName;
cout<<"Your full name is: "<<fullName<<endl;
//reverse users name
spaceLocation== fullName.find(" ",0);
firstName = fullName.substr(0, spaceLocation);
lastName = fullName.substr(spaceLocation + 1);
cout<<"Your reversed name is: "<<lastName<< ", "<<firstName<<endl;
cout<<" \n";
//Prompt user to to try again
cout<<"Would you like to try again? ";
cin>>ans;
ans=toupper(ans);
} while(ans=='Y');
cout<<"THANK YOU \n"<<endl;
system("pause");
return 0;
}
