Hi guys i'm new here.

I am currently stuck with trying to figure out how to replace all the blank spaces (" ") of my character array of size 6 with letter "A"s. Can anyone offer an insight? Didn't used strings. Sorry if this sounds noobish.

Are you using C or C++? in C++, use the STL replace algorithm
CODE
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <string>

int main()
{
    using namespace std;

    string str = "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";
    replace( str.begin(), str.end(), ' ', '$' );

    cout << str;
}

For C++, I strongly recommend you use the C++ string type, though you can do the same with char arrays
CODE
    char str[] = "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";
    replace( str, str+strlen(str), ' ', '$' );
    cout << str;

Hi Bench.

I used the char array method but it does not replace my blanks ' ' with 'A's, instead the code stops there. and those input that have blanks are cut off after the blank.

Could you paste the code you've tried, and your output?
