Re: Error in C++ code(Help Required)
Please format your code correctly and use [code] tags when posting code (Go Advanced, select code and click '#'. Do not use line numbers with the code and indent appropriately for readability.
What flaws? Does it compile? What should the code do and what does it do? Have you tried debugging the code? As this is c++ code, why are you using the c library for input/output and string manipulation rather than the c++ Standard Template Library (STL)?
