I had stuck a cout after the word was scrambled and it showed me the symbols that I could only find using C's printf()
run that little code and you'll know what I'm talking about.
I actually made a deck of cards using those symbols. now that I no the gotoxy() I might be able to make a card game

thanks for the link

Code: Select all

    #include <iostream>

    int main()
    {
       for (int i = 0; i < 256; i++)
            std::cout << i << '\t' << (char)i << '\n'; // You use a cast in C++ It's basically the same.
    }

Code: Select all

printf("Hello World!");

Code: Select all

cout << "Hello World!";

pipey85 wrote:i understand that, but what i dont understand is the underlined part

printf ("%d\t %c \n",i, i);
