I am very new at coding and I just had a quick question. How would you find the nth character from a string in an array for c++? so for example {"Hey you" "echo" "lake" "lend" "degree"}, n=0 would equal "hello" thanks! I'm not going to ask for the full code but just tips on where to get started.

    Show what you have tried and ask specific questions on where you are stuck. We will not write the code for you. – Anon Mail Oct 06 '17 at 20:39

  • 1. Hello doesnt appear in your example array. 2. This is a question answer site, not a get started in the right direction site. 3. Did you do any pre-work, try searching google for this. – Fantastic Mr Fox Oct 06 '17 at 20:39
  • Please provide context for your question. How is your array defined? Do you know the difference between "character", "string" and "array"? Try to make a [mcve]. – Yunnosch Oct 06 '17 at 20:40
  • _"on where to get started"_ at the 1st character of course. – user0042 Oct 06 '17 at 20:40

Here are some examples: 

unsigned int n = 3;
static const char hello[] = "hello";
cout << hello[n] << "\n";

const std::string apple = "apple";
cout << apple[n] << "\n";

static const char * many[] = {"These", "are", "many", "strings"};
cout << many[n][n] << "\n";
cout << many[n] << "\n";
