Completely Stuck !

[Godhatesme]

Hi all - a few details first...

I have no background in coding of any sort.

I did a 1 week course in C++ some 5 weeks ago and have a course assignment to do.

I started said coursework 4 weeks ago but have had family illness and work issues to deal with since.

I have to submit the coursework next Monday (May 12).

I am NOT asking anyone to do it for me !!

I've started the programming bit and have basically become stuck at what I have to do next. The approach I have taken is to break the programme down into chunks (so I can follow it) rather than write the programme in one go and then try to debug it.

Problem is - as I haven't looked at it for 4 weeks, I can't remember how I got to this point and really just need a slight nudge to get started again.

I've attached a .cpp file to show how far I have reached - I need to now add Mystring s2(25) which defines an empty string of 25 chars. I need to provide an appropriate contructor and ensure the first character in the string is null ('\0' - is that right?). There must be space for 26 characters to include the terminating null charatcer. 'len' needs to be set to 25 and 'size' set to 0.

As I said, I'm NOT looking for anyone to do this for me - I have looked at this for the past 36 hours and seem to be going nowhere! I do have a number of books with me - Smiley's 'Learn to Program C++' seems quite good but doesn't really help me right now.

I'm sure if I can just get my head into it again, I'll be sort of OK and will make some progress.

Thank you if you can help.
