Hi, how do you convert a sentence such as:
"I can has Cheezeburger!", to leet.
you have to change the sentence to uppercase first (not sure how thats done) then convert to leet
this my attempt but its not working

//leet
#include <iostream>
#include <cctype>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
        //declarations
	int y = 0;
	const int size = 50;
	char converter[size];
	char leet[size];

	//entering sentence
	cout << "Enter a phrase to change to 1337: \n";
	cin.getline(converter, size);

        //have to change to uppercase

	cout << "The 1337 phrase is: \n";

        //trying to convert the sentence
	for(int count = 0; count < size; count++) 
		{
			if(converter[count] == 'I')
				leet[count] = '1';
			if(converter[count] == 'Z')
				leet[count] = '2';
			if(converter[count] == 'E')
				leet[count] = '3';
			if(converter[count] == 'A')
				leet[count] = '4';
			if(converter[count] == 'S')
				leet[count] = '5';
			if(converter[count] == 'O')
				leet[count] = '0';			
		}

        //trying to output the leet sentence
	while( leet[y] != '\0')
		{
			cout << leet[y];
			y++;
		}
	return 0;
}
Edit & run on cpp.sh


any sort of help will be welcome.
ps: the last time i compiled it it was working, not sure if it still works

#include <cctype>
for(int i = 0; i < size; ++i) 
     converter[i] = toupper(converter[i]);

It's as simple as that.

How about you start by explaining what the alleged problem is...

  leet[count] = '0';	
else
  leet[count] = converter[count];


When outputting your string, just do it like this...
 
 
cout << leet;


You'll need to add the uppercase conversion in before the existing for loop. That should do it.
