Echo print

[Sheepman]

I'm in my first C++ class. I am supposed to have the program I'm writing "echo print" to the screen. What does that mean, I can't find any reference to it in my book.

Well my guess is that they're talking about the echo command.
An example of this would be: echo hello
On the screen you would see the words "hello"

I think they want you to write a program that uses this command and prints something onto the screen.

If this is so research the system() command.

Here's how the question is stated.

Write a complete C++ program...Ask the user to enter integers. Echo print each integer to the screen. If the interger...

I can make the program do whats ask with the integers. I'm just not sure about the bold statement.

Thanks for the quick response!

I guess your program is supposed to print (echo) what the user had entered;
e.g. if the user entered 4 5 6 the program is supposed to echo (print) 4 5 6 again.

Ok so yes. echo is a system statement that prints whatever's after it.

Basically you'll want to get the numbers from the user. Then uses the system() and echo command to print it.

I don't think they necessarily mean to use the system echo command , but to just print out the same integers the user entered in the same order, probably using std::out , since you will be using std::in to input the ints

If they didn't mean to use the sys echo command then why did they say "Echo print each integer"? That to me sounds like it is the echo command

My guess is that the verbs 'echo' and 'print' are used as synonyms here. Two
synonyms next to each other are confusing.

I don't know if they want this, but I would do this:

#include <iostream>
 
using namespace std;
 
int main() {
    char numbers[10];
    cout<<"Enter a number: ";
    cin.getline(numbers, 10);
    cout<<"The number you entered was: " << numbers;
    cin.get();
}
