Hello, I am asp.net C# developer. I decided to tackle C++, so I started today. This is probably something simple I am sure but I cannot figure out what the problem is. I would appreciate if someone could show me what is wrong and why.
Code:
srand(static_cast<unsigned int>(time(0)));
int choice = rand() % NUM_WORDS;
string theWord = WORDS[choice][WORD];
string theHint = WORDS[choice][HINT];
string jumble = theWord;
int length = jumble.size();
for(int i = 0; i < length;i++)
{
int index1 = (rand() % length);
int index2 = (rand() % length);
char temp = jumble[index1];
jumble[index1] = jumble[index2];
jumble[index2] = temp;
}
cout << "\t\t\tWelcome to Word Jumble!\n\n";
cout << "Unscramble the letters to make a word.\n";
cout << "Enter 'hint' for a hint.\n";
cout << "Enter 'quit' to quit the game.\n\n";
cout << "The jumble is: " << jumble;
The error is happening on the last output operator, just before the jumble variable on the last line.The error is:
Code:
Intellisense: no operator"<<" matches these operands
operand types are: std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> <<std::string
I understand what its saying, but jumble is a std::string
Here are my preprocessor directives and using statements
Code:
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
Thanks in advance!
