Help for another program

[Valmont]

My oh my. Who is teaching you C++? The one and only thing that gets me going is cowardness. But I must say, teaching our youngsters the way you are tought makes me think. Check you PM (private message) and report back when you got it.

In the mean time I want you to answer these questions:
` What IDE are you using?
` What subjects did your teacher teach you until now?

Obviously I want to know how I can help you better in the future. In my fantasy I am patient, so be welcome anytime for more help .

Remember, check PM.

my teacher "taught" me a bit about functions and arrays. and some of the basics. i came here and asked for help for the ones i had trouble with.

He doesn't listen in class. I should know... I'm in it!

I actually finished the assignment by LISTENING and reading up on the subject... If you haven't read the bottom of the sheet, Andrew, there's a website that will help you... http://www.cprogramming.com/

[Androto]

i got more help here than on the site.

[Androto]

val gave me about 3 different tutorials and there all better than getting it taught to you by a teacher.

Valmont, can you please edit Androto's post and remove my REAL last name from his post... I don't like having it mentioned on the web...

Actually, Andrew, to me, he explained it clearly enough for me to actually write a program... BTW, this is due Friday, so you better get crackin'!

[Valmont]

Name removed.

I am not interested who is listening in the class or not. I help anyone who needs help on standard C++. Here, social issues don't matter to me. Dumb, smart, attending class, poor, rich, whatever. Lazyness is the only thing that doesn't pay off with me. Otherwise I will be always here.

i know that, that's why lately, i've been telling you what i thought/showing the codes that i got, then i ask for advice, then help.

Yes offcourse there is a way. You gave the solution basically yourself. I'll do it later. In the mean time see how far you can get.

am i on the right track here?

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  string letters;
  string input;
  unsigned count(0);

  for(;;)
  {
     //Use getline so spaces and tabs are counted in.
     getline(cin, input, '\n');
     if(input[0] == '@') //@ terminates the input sequence.
        break;
     else
     {
        //Add only ONE single letter. Ignore the rest.
       letters=input.size;
     }
  }
  cout<<letters<<endl;

  system("PAUSE");
  return 0;
