Need HELP with Final Project

[LinuxDjinn]

Hi guys,

Im new to c++ and need help with my final for tomorrow. The project is this:

Write a program that can input, append to, display and show statistics about a string of characters. The statistics should include the string's length, most occurring character and the number of alpha, non-alpha, numeric, space, vowel and end mark characters that are in the string.


Create functions to provide each statistic as needed.


Display a menu (also a separate function) so that the user can choose an operation to perform or exit the program. The program will redisplay the menu as long as the user does not exit the program.


I know I dont have much done but im having a really tuff time with arrays as ref parameters.. anything would help.

Thanks in advance.

using namespace std;

void newText(string[CAPACITY]);

void disptextSt();
