How make cin accept different punctuation from vector

[ProgramDudeYo]

Question is a bit odd, didn't know how to word it.

My program is a dictionary vector with a cin at the end that will read your input and check if it's in the dictionary.


#include "std_lib_facilities_3.h"
#include <algorithm>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>

string translate_to_lower(string s)
{
transform(s.begi[/code]n(), s[/code].end(), s.begin(), (int (*)(int)) tolower);
return s;
}

int main()
{
vector<string>words(16);
string input;
words[0] = "hello";
words[1] = "world";
words[2] = "i";
words[3] = "a";
words[4] = "am";
words[5] = "the";
words[6] = "computer";
words[7] = "is";
words[8] = "was";
words[9] = "can";
words[10] = "do";
words[11] = "computation";
words[12] = "fast";
words[13] = "slow";
words[14] = "program";
words[15] = "c++";

cout << "Type in words!\nType ctrl + c to stop the program.\n";

while (cin>>input)
{
string translation = translate_to_lower(input);
int n = -1;
for ( int i=0; i<words.size(); ++i)
{
if (translation == words[i])
{
n=i;
}
else
{
}
}
if (n == -1)
{
cout << input << " was mispelled.\n";
}
}
}

How do I make the program accept inputs such as "hello?", "hello!", and "hello,"?

maybe it's your function translate_to_lower

however check this code out

 #include <algorithm>
 #include <string>
 #include <iostream>
 #include <vector>
 #include <windows.h>

using namespace std;

 int main()
 {
 vector<string>words(16);

 char input[20] = {0};

 words[0] = "hello";
 words[1] = "world";
 words[2] = "i";
 words[3] = "a";
 words[4] = "am";
 words[5] = "the";
 words[6] = "computer";
 words[7] = "is";
 words[8] = "was";
 words[9] = "can";
 words[10] = "do";
 words[11] = "computation";
 words[12] = "fast";
 words[13] = "slow";
 words[14] = "program";
 words[15] = "c++";

 cout << "Type in words!\nType ctrl + c to stop the program.\n";

	while (cin>>input)
	{
		string translation = CharLower(input);
		int n = -1;

		for ( int i=0; i<words.size(); ++i)
		{
			if (translation == words[i])
			{
				n=i;
			}
			else
			{

			}
		}

		if (n == -1)
		{
			cout << input << " was mispelled.\n";
		}

	}
 }
