Storing multiple array elements into one.

[crosseyed]

How do I store multiple array elements into one?

ex:
Array [0]=Array1[3],Array7[3],Array4[2];

I'm a newbie at this and any help is appreciated.

The question doesn't make sense. A single array element can only hold one value.

Uh, you could do it manually:

int myArray[3];
myArray[0] = someArray1[3];
myArray[1] = someOtherArray[3];
myArray[2] = yetAnotherArray[2];

But you are probably going to need a dynamic array, so you are better off using a vector.

vector<int> myVector;
myVector.push_back(someArray1[3]);
myVector.push_back(someOtherArray[3]);
myVector.push_back(yetAnotherArray[2]);

I'm going with Lindley's answer. As asked, the question doesn't make sense.

I have to generate random names.
User inputs: # of names, # of letters in first name, and # of letters in last name.
First letter (ea name) a capital consonant then alternate lowercase vowels and consonants.

I created 3 functions for the above and have to store the resulting name in an array to be passed to a function and print out.

Sounds like you may be looking for strcat.

That made me lol but GCDEF's suggestion is not a joke.

If you're trying to append characters to a string, just use std::string's += operator.

I've tried this two ways:

and....

Code tags would go a long way to make that more readable.

Okay. The first approach is clearly not good for two reasons. First, a different line of code for each possible numerical input is unsustainable beyond a small range of inputs. You need to determine a more compact way of expressing the idea.

Second, the comma operator does not do what you think it does.

else if (i==1||3||5||7||9)

This if statement does not check what you think it does either. Since 3 is not zero, this will always evaluate to true no matter what i is.

How do you go about that?

the operator || means "or" correct?
if i is equal to 1,3,5,7, or 9 is what my intent was.
