I am learning programming in c++ by the book "Programming Principles and Practice Using C++(2nd Edition)". I have got a problem with some code.....
Code:
char c = 'x';
int i1 = c;
int i2 = 'x';
char c2 = i1;
cout<<c<<'<<i1<<'<<c2<<'\n';

I should get the answer "x120x" but I am getting "x1764834864x"......
Please anyone help fast????
What should I do to correct it????

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    char c = 'x';
    int i1 = c;
    
    int i2 = 'x';
    char c2 = i2;
    
    // cout<<c<<'<<i1<<'<<c2<<'\n';
    std::cout << c << i1 << c2 << '\n'; 
    std::cout << c << "'" << i1 << "'" << c2 << '\n' ;
    std::cout << '\'' << c << "'" << i1 << "'" << c2 << "\'\n" ;
    std::cout << '\'' << c << " '" << i1 << " '" << c2 << "\'\n" ;
}

I'm just a month plus into programming. Don't know if it will help but i was thinking if your int variable being assigned a character instead of a digit might be the cause. Try assigning digits to int variable and see how it goes. Sorry if i'm talking off point.

Guys this is the final code... That runs perfectly well.....

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
inline void keep_window_open() { char ch; cin>>ch; }

int main()
{
    char c = 'x';
    int i1 = c;

    int i2 = 'x';
    char c2 = i2;

    std::cout<< c << i1<< c2 << '\n';

    keep_window_open();
    return 0;
}
