How can I transfer what I have in my main() into a string function?

[JoshuaStudent]

Please read my entire question:
My main function works properly. But I need it to be in the getSecretMessage(string str) function. How can I do that?
Again, the main function works fine so I don't need help finishing the main. I just need to move the logic I have from main into the string function.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
/**

*/

string getSecretMessage(string str)
{
   

}
int main (void) {

 string str[51]; // the code works perfectly here though. 
    int i=0;
    for (i=0;i<51;i++)
    {
      cin >> str[i]; 
    }
    for (i=0;i<51;i++)
    {
     cout << str[i][0];   
    }

  

 

  return 0;

}

If I understand you are using an array to hold each word individually but the problem says that your string getSecretMessage(string str) function can only take one string. Instead of putting each word in an array try making the program with the entire sentence in one string.

Please don't duplicate post, it's ultimately a time waster for those who reply.
