string together letters for encryption..

[dahui10]

there is a certain command if I remember correctly to imput multiple letters like if I say "hello" it will encrypt "hello" not just the "h" thats what I'm stuck doing right now here is my code. I know its something simple I just can't think of it.. this is supposed to be a very simple cipher so I'd like to keep the program the same. thanks for the help I'll keep digging.

there is a certain command if I remember correctly to imput multiple letters like if I say "hello" it will encrypt "hello" not just the "h" thats what I'm stuck doing right now here is my code.

So what was the problem?

[dahui10]

I appologize for that, I just started reading the faq... i will use code tags from now on

basically if a user puts in a word for encryption, it will only encrypt the fist letter then dump the rest.

as in the original post if I "cin >> hello" it only reads the "h" and drops the rest of the word and encrypts that "h" to "l" then displays it to screen

I need it to encrypt the whole word not just "h"

so "hello" should display "lipps" not just "l"

Your menu doesn't seem to have an option to encrypt an entire word.....it only offers to encrypt a character. I'm not clear why you'd want to do something different than what the menu is promising?

[sinclaire]

Encryption is usually done on the bit level, you know like XOR. I would not add or subtract values. This is more obfuscation than encryption.

I will agree with you but it isn't that hard to change a menu option from character to a sentence, or sequence of numbers.

I would like to know how I could allow user to input a sequence of numbers.

as for the post above this I looked into XOR just now, and I'm not that far into my C++ class yet, were just starting to learn loops and such, its more of a cypher to be exact.
