Question

//Encryption of pass-phrase
char passReverse(char usrPass[]){
    char newPass[pSize];
    int value;
    int randNum;
    int rand_NumOut;

    //Random number generation
    srand(time(0));
    randNum = rand();
    rand_NumOut = ((randNum %12)+2);
    //Reversing array for-loop
    for (int i=0; i<pSize && usrPass[i] != '\0'; i++){
        char letter = usrPass[i];
        newPass[i] = letter;
        int maxVal = strlen(usrPass);
        if (maxVal >=0){
            newPass[i] = usrPass[(maxVal-1)-i];
        }
        cout << newPass[i];
        value = i;
    }
    return value;
}

Ideally the rand_NumOut would be placed in newPass[] immediately after the last loop.

The problem I have run into is that when placed in the for-loop, of course, rand_NumOut is placed after every char in the array, and when outside of the loop, I can’t place it in the array’s content.

Suggestions?

Answer 1

at the end of the for loop simply add the lines

if(usrPass[i+1]=='\0')
{
//code to insert rand_NumOut
//output rand_NumOut
}
