You can use std::stringstream.

I think i understand it, but why is it (ss >>message) in the while loop .

I think i understand it, but why is it (ss >>message) in the while loop .

Exactly the same as:
 
 
while( cin >> message )

It extracts data until a newline or whitespace character.

Since we didnt talk about stringstream in class im not allowed to use it. This is what i came up with but it isnt working right. If i enter "ask dog" it will not print out the pig latin version.

Thanks for the reply, but it should be "askyay ogday". because one starts with a vowel and the other doesnt.

What are the rules you are using to form this sentence?

User enters a sentence if a word starts with either aeiou then add "yay" at end, if non-vowel in first spot, then take first letter add it to end of word and then add "ay" to that.

I was not sure how that code work and i felt as though a really important thing that i was missing was being able to seperate and deal with words individually within a string and i wanted to go with my way. But i appreciate the response.

Then don't steal my code if you couldn't find a solution!
fivestar (180)
Steal your code? I literally posted my own code and wanted ideas on how to make it better. You chose to make your own program and post it and i chose not to use it.
