C++ Strings?

I have to take in a a string and scramble it 5 times, using string methods. I have to separate it using 2 radnom num's, and into three parts. It won't execute for some reason. Any help will be appreciated. Here's the code:


cout%26lt;%26lt;endl;


cout%26lt;%26lt;"Enter a phrase to shuffle: ";


getline(cin,phrase_input);





for(int i = 0;i %26lt;= 5;i++)


{


beg = phrase_new.substr(0,random_one);


mid = phrase_new.substr(random_one,random_two - random_one);


endphr = phrase_new.substr(random_two,phr_len - random_two);





shuffled_phrased+= endphr;


shuffled_phrased+= beg;


shuffled_phrased+= mid;





}


cout%26lt;%26lt;shuffled_phrased;

C++ Strings?
first, I assume that somewhere you are copying phrase_input into phrase_new somewhere and just didnt show the code.





second, make sure your random_one and random_two are not greater than the length of the string phrase_new.





third, to loop 5 times, your "for" loop should be "for(int i = 0; i %26lt; 5; i++)"





fourth, you need to copy shuffled_phrased back into phrase_new at the end of your loop, so you can repeat the operations on it again.
Reply:Do you know how to use a debugger?


If not, I suggest you learn.





A debugger will help you to pinpoint a problem to a specific line of code. Learn to step through the code and verify it is doing what it is supposed to be doing.
