again to reclarify I can't use any functions or vectors or like .find. only the approved functions i listed above. I also need the first and last name stored in one variable. i can use two variables for the first and last initial.

current code i have. I am struggling to find a way to get the first and last name initials while following the constraints

[graceful geode]

or ask a more specific question

[marble compass]

How to Format Code on Discord

• type three "backticks" (not quotes/apostrophes, on QWERTY layout, left of 1-key)
• on the same line, type the file extension for that language (c or cpp)
• enter your code on a new line and put another three backticks at the end

Example Input

```cpp
int main() {
    return 0;
}
```

Example Output

int main() {
    return 0;
} ```

you didn't put all your code in the block

you can see as much because of the colors

[marble compass]

this code is running fine with my compiler

I say again

I think its working but because i am having the user input a value its not running correctly all the way?

[graceful geode]

indexes start at zero

not one

oh i left that in there when i was experimenting
