Can someone PLEASE help me

Hello, I'm having a problem with this code I wrote. I'm supposed to enter a 8 character password, 5 letters and 3 numbers. If the password does not have 5 letters and 3 numbers, then it is an invalid password. I was able to complete the program but every time I run it, I get an error!! And I have checked and double checked the program for any errors but could not find any. Please help.

This is what I did..

Line 11:
const int SIZE = 8;

to
const int SIZE = 9;

You need a NULL on the end of it!

a b c d e 1 2 3 '\0' = 9 characters.


You should have added this after line 17. It would have showed you that it's taking 1 char off the end of what you type in:
cout << password << '\n';

Thanks a lot! I thought it would work with 8 since the count started from 0 and stops at 7, and 8 would be '\0'
lol, np. Looking at it now, I too would have put 8 in there... Never realised that earlier! ahaha
