Out of range at memory location

rasen58 (11)
I have to read in two names from a text file and change each letter to its corresponding number value and multiply all the numbers in the string. If that number mod 47 is equal to the second word mod 47, then I print GO to the file, else it prints STAY.

I keep getting an out of range error.

The index is out of range. This:
 
 
for(int i =0;i<=a;i++)
should probably be:
 
 
for(int i =0;i<a;i++)


And the same for the other loop.

You can do the same thing without using loops for this.

You should play around with (e.g.)

int example = 'L' - 'A';

I tried using
for(int i=0;i<a;i++)
but that didn't work either.

@andywestken Could you explain what you wrote there?
kbw (9488)
Did you fix both loops?
rasen58 (11)
Oh wow, I should have tried to change it for both. Thanks! It's still not working though.

I put
COMETQ
HVNGAT

in the text file, and it should print GO, but it prints STAY. What is wrong with my algorithm.

Also, when i put two words that should output STAY, I get an out of range at memory location error again. For any two words that should output GO, it always outputs STAY. Here is my code again

Never mind, I fixed it. I also made it more efficient. Instead of replacing each letter in the string with a number, I just multiplied the total and the problem was that when I replaced a letter with a 2 digit number, it took up two spaces, so the loops didnt go all the way to the end.
