C++ Novice. Could someone please tell me how I would go about using an array in this program. Thanks!

[int main()

do

srand ((unsigned)time(0));

cout << "Welcome to Rock, Paper, Scissors! Let's Play!\n\n";

before i read it, please click edit on your post, find the format section click the <> button and put your code between the code blocks

but to do a char array just do char var_name [byte_size]

Thanks, I'm new to all of this and I really appreciate the help.

however unless you are using pointers use #include <string> which gives you the ability to have string var_type which is the same as the char array
