(btw if you add cpp after ``` (and on the same line) you get syntax highlighting)

the first one

ok thanks

this is the output

why its not from AAA to ZZZ

[scarlet cedar]

word = ch + c + j;

this does not concatenate characters

char in c++ is really just a small int

so ch + c + j is actually just adding 3 numbers together

[supple vale]

oh

[scarlet cedar]

the reason word + ch concatenates is because std::string + char is overloaded to do that

but char + char is not

[supple vale]

thanks for this information thats explain alot

[scarlet cedar]

the reason you get weird characters is because when these are converted back to characters they aren't in the normal ranges so its outputting whatever the character would be (and theyre strange)

[supple vale]

is there any simple solution for this

[scarlet cedar]

yes many

but see if you can figure something out first :P

[supple vale]

i will try this 3 times

[scarlet cedar]

that would indeed work

although you have to make sure you do it correctly

since word = ch + c + j was intented to set the whole string

if you do word += ch then its concatenating to what was there before, without resetting the string

[supple vale]

thanks its worked
