Vector output from a selection

[joecookjc]

So I'm trying to write a simple program that will prompt a user to input a number between 0-19 and then output the translation of that number in Spanish.

So far I've made a vector of strings and assigned each position in that vector to the corresponding translation.

Ex.

  vector<string> numbers (20);
  numbers.assign (0, "cero");
  numbers.assign (1, "uno");
  //etc..
  numbers.assign (19, "diecinueve");

  int num;
  cout << //prompt
  cin >> num;
  cout << "In Spanish that is " << //here's where I have trouble << '.' << endl; 

I want to have it so if the user inputs a 3, then it will cout the corresponding string for that position. I just don't know exactly how to do that, or if it's even possible.

I would have asked you to use std::map but since it looks like you're still trying to get the hang of C++, so I'll use a very simple method, std::vector, right? :) Store all the 20 spanish words in a vector of strings, ask the user to input a value, make sure the value is lesser than 20 and greater than or equals 0. Simply access the vector with the input.

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

int main()
{
    std::vector< std::string > spanish_digits { "I", "don't", "know", "them", "but", "you", "feel", "free", "to", "add", "them", "yourself", ":)" };
    
    int const size = spanish_digits.size();
    int input = 0;

    do {
        std::cout << "Enter a positive digit lesser than " << size << ": ";
        std::cin >> input;
    } while( input >= size || input < 0 );
    std::cout << input << " is " << spanish_digits[input] << " in spanish" << std::endl;

}

Study how to use std::map too.

Thank you so much OxBADC0DE, you gave me a little laugh also.
I ended up doing it a longer way after I found out that vector.assign was not doing what I wanted it to do lol
I ended up doing multiple push_back statements, which is dumb in hindsight.
You're code is so much shorter than mine because of that, but I need to look at some of the things you used and figure out what exactly they're doing.
But thank you so much for your help! It's extremely appreciated.
