[Solved] Why is @@@@P` is being added to char array after sorting


infile >> a >> c >> d;

requires a char array and 2 integers all separated by spaces.

flohjenwxhas

contains no spaces so the char array gobbles everything up and the stream read fails untested leaving nothing for c and d. This means c and d are used without being set later in the program. This be Undefined Behaviour. Crom only knows what crazy smurf will result when they are used.

int l = sizeof(a) / sizeof(a[0]);

Computes the number of element in array a. Not only is this redundant, it will always be 100, it is far more than the number of characters in “flohjenwxhas”. This has you sorting and swapping who-knows-what in the uninitialized portion of a.

You likely meant to use

int l = strlen(a);

But a vastly better approach is to make a a std::string and use a.size()
