you can stream numbers into a string, but you can't perform math on them... for the purpose of what he posted, a string consiting of numbers works

b+a+c

fixed! if a word counts as a value.....

Well, it was this part that confuses me...

Code: [Select]

// declaring variables:
  int a, b, c;
When compared with this...

Code: [Select]

cout << " enter a noun: ";
  cin >> b;
To my mind, entering text into an Integer defined variable would cause a crash, though, I'll freely admit, I haven't got round to learning C++ yet, hell, they're making me code in VB.net at the moment, that's like Frontpage meets Access and a thoroughly horrible experience

Also, from personal experience, I find you tend to need to define the variable before you start filling them, however, this just may be part of how C++ works.

Edit2: Ah my mistake, they are defined twice, though b is still set as an integer.

You cannot assign a String an Int value, Int values are signed Integer, usually 2 Bytes long, which allows you to hold a number between 32767 and -32768, but that's all. Assigning a variable to it will either result in an error or a bogus result.

Int should be 4 bytes (32-bits) on 32-bit processors which are the norm nowadays.

Heh, true, some of my coding knowledge is a little out of date

when its finished (and better) i will release the username generator, or even maybe bundle it up with fs2 after some changes.
