first name initials last name

closed account (4wpL6Up4)
Hi,

I am working on a program that requires the user to input a string (full and last name) and the output has to be the first name initials and the full last name.
I think I got most of it but there is one minor detail that I am not able to adjust.
The last name is printed vertically, and I don't know why.
What should I do to print it correctly?
Thanks

Because you made it print vertically when you decided to print each character individually, separated by a newline.

removing '\n' just removes the spaces and puts the characters closer together, however
are still printed vertically.

endl is the same as '\n' (but that it also does a std::flush), that's what's also causing your output to be vertical.
