Ok, i can't answer your question if i don't know what you want.

string cards[decksize] = "Yellow";

Now, this above will set all the elements of cards to "Yellow". So if you print all elements of cards, you'll see "Yellow", "Yellow", "Yellow",...

(Toggle Plain Text)

string cards[decksize]={"Yellow"};

the above sets the first element of cards to "Yellow", the rest stay uninitialized.

Most of your loops are redundant. Such a simple task can be done with a single loop:

(Toggle Plain Text)

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>

#define MAX_DECK   100

int main( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
	std::vector<std::string> deck( MAX_DECK, "Yellow" );
	unsigned short int red = 0, yellow = MAX_DECK, i = MAX_DECK;
	
	do
	{
		if ( i % 2 == 0 )
		{
			deck[--i] = "Red";
			++red;
		}
	} while ( --i );
	
	yellow -= red;
	
	std::cout << "Yellow: " << yellow << "\nRed: " << red << std::endl;
	std::cin.get();
	return 0;
}

Sure. But I charge $100,000 /hr for such tasks. :p

I think some of you guys are misunderstanding the math problem. He first flips over all the numbers divisible by 2, then he flips over all the ones divisible by 3, then 4, etc..

That's strange, I get different results when I do debug (with break points) then when I compile and run..

Here is my edited code:

(Toggle Plain Text)

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
const int decksize = 100;
int main()
{
	string cards[decksize];
    for (int i = 0; i < decksize; i++)
    {
    cards[i] = "Yellow";
}
	int divby;
	int yellow = 100;
    int red = 0;	
	for (divby = 2; divby < decksize; divby++)
	{
        int q;
		for (q = 0; q < decksize; q++)
		{
			if ((cards[q] == "Yellow") && ((q % divby) == 0))
			{
				cards[q] = "Red";
				red++;
				yellow--;
				cout << red << "\t" << yellow << endl;

				
			}
			else if ((cards[q] == "Red")&& ((q % divby) == 0))
			{
				cards[q] == "Yellow";
				cout << red << "\t" << yellow << endl;
				red--;
				yellow++;
				cout << red << "\t" << yellow << endl;
            }
		}
	}
int n;
	for (n = 0; n < decksize; n++)
	{
		if (cards[n] == "Red")
		red++;
		else if (cards[n] == "Yellow")
		yellow++;
	}
cout << "Yellow: " << yellow << endl;
cout << "Red: " << red << endl;
cin.get();
cin.get();
return 0;
}

Thanks to all those who have helped.

I finished my first program!!

I'm so happy:

(Toggle Plain Text)

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
	cout << "Please input amount of cards in deck: ";
	int cards;
	cin >> cards;
	string deck[cards];
	
	for (int i = 0; i < cards; i++)
	{
		deck[i] = "Yellow"; // cycle through all cards making them yellow face up
	}
	
	int numbernow;
	int n;
	int yellow = cards;
	int red = 0;
	cout << "Yellow\t\t\tRed";
	
	for (numbernow = 2; numbernow <= cards; numbernow++)
	{
		for (n = 1; n <= cards; n++)
		{
			if (n % numbernow == 0)
			{ 
				if (deck[n-1] == "Yellow")
				{
                                   
					deck[n-1] = "Red";
					red++;
					yellow--;

congrats a3orange. Pretty impressive for a first program.
