@hasty bramble Why are you converting num[i] to a string then trying to assign it back to an int? That makes no sense 😛

hasty bramble Aug 27, 2022, 4:44 PM

#

basically i want the [1......} to go to the end {....1}

#

i was just trying to understand the shift algorithm before i complicated the code

#

but the movement would depend on a flip coin randomizer

#

rand %2

#

if chance==1

#

shift right

#

#

Why are you trying to convert to a string?

hasty bramble Aug 27, 2022, 4:49 PM

#

i think i see my mistake on here that your sayign so initially i had the flip coin funciton but i took it out

#

so values[size] = {".",".",".","."}

#

if flip coin ==1

#

num[i] = 1;

#

else

#

cout num[i]

like this?

#

This is a good example of what's known as an "X Y problem". You wanted to display an int in a certain way. You assumed the way to do it was to convert it into a string. You were having trouble converting it into a string, so you've come asking for help converting an int to a string, but your original problem was displaying the int.
When you're asking for help, it often helps to backtrack and give a more detailed explanation of the original problem that lead you down this path. You may find that the reason you're struggling to solve a problem is that you're looking at the wrong problem altogether

to move riht as a "flip coin" function will determine if it moves right

#

i shorted the code becuase it wouldnt all fit but here is the main idea

#Convert int -- to a string
