Question

I am busy with a practical. I have to enter a string or a message and have to convert it to Morse code:
‘A’ = .-
‘B’ = -…
ecs.

I can do that with no problem by using a series of if statements.

for(int i = 0;i < stringvalue.length();i++)
{
    if(stringvalue == 'A')
        cout << ".-";
        //there is 26 if statements

}

But when i enter a string, eg.

"Testing data"

Only the first part of the string is converted(test is converted) to Morse.

Why does it not convert the part after the space. If there is a space in the string it must output “/ “.

Answer 1

If your input routine looks like this:

std::string input;
std::cin >> input;

The input is read up to the first whitespace character. To read the whole line, you can use std::getline.

std::getline(std::cin, input);
