Multi-Array and String C++

Question

Hello sololearners, how can i make any string to accept on a multi-array? Make the string as a value of an array.

Code:
string Symbols = "@";
int Digits[1][1] = {Symbols};
cout << Digits[0][0];

Answer 1

Well, this one creates a char array to copy a std::string content

#include <algorithm> // std::copy
#include <iostream>
#include <cstring> // std::strcpy

int main()
{
std::string str { "Hello world!" };

char* data { new char[ str.size() + 1 ] };
std::copy( str.begin(), str.end(), data ); // C++ way
//std::strcpy( data, str.c_str() ); // C way
std::cout << data <<"\n";
delete [] data; // don't forget to clean up
return 0;
}

Answer 2

But <Digits> is array of integer. I think this way you might want to use array of string/char instead.

Answer 3

Let me get this straight first,
<Symbol> is a string, you want to create an array to contain each character from <Symbol>.

Or is it something different?

Answer 4

No worries, you'll get the hang of it 👍

Here are references for std::copy and std::strlen

Answer 5

Deng, this is way too advance XD. Just for appreciation, imma mark it as the answer. Will try to implement it, thank you!

Answer 6

What value did you expect in <Digits>? <Symbols> itself doesn't have any digit.

I need more details on what you actually want here. So maybe you can put more examples in the Description.

Answer 7

When user input any kind of symbol/character which is a string, it will be the value of the multi-array.

Ex.
Please enter a symbol :$
Digits[0][0] = "quot;

So, when i call the multi-array Digits the value would be the string inputted.

Answer 8

Yes, what would be the syntax for that?

This is basically what I want to do but its error:
String Digits[0][0] = Symbol;
