The Problem is that i should be able to get an output of this "wrong" program in an online compiler, but i can not seem to make it work.
On the verge of giving up to find the solution so i thought i'd post the question here,

So basically, the program should manipulate the characters " Comp@uter! " using the isalpha() and isupper() function on C++ and give the proper output , so can someone please help me out, if not for running online can anyone give me an answer on this?

will be realy helpful if each line is explained after the 3rd line,

Please no hate, I'm not a computer programmer.

#include<iostream.h>
#include<ctype.h>
void main( )
{ char Text[ ] = "Comp@uter!";
for(int I=0; Text[I]!=‟\0‟;I++)
{ if(!isalpha(Text[I]))
Text[I]=‟*‟;
else if(isupper(Text[I]))
Text[I]=Text[I]+1;
else
Text[I] = Text[I+1]; }
cout<<Text; }

What I have tried:

Tried running online doesn't work

This is not a "problem" to solve.

Looks like you've copied that code from a website without correcting the "smart" quotes.

Start by fixing that. Then, if it still doesn't work, click "Improve question" and update your question with a clear description of what the problem is and how you've tried to fix it. Include the full details of any errors, and remember to indicate which line of the code each error relates to.

Yes , i did that.

Funny this looks exactly like a question that was posted yesterday, but tagged C#. Are you in the same class as that other user?

Member 13020122 23-Feb-17 15:21pm

Lol, I guess so xD

And just like yesterday, we're still not doing your homework for you.

Yeah same here :)

Works for me after I fixed the compilation errors. And, no, we can't write a book explaining each line of code to you.

First thing, you need to learn how to format your code and use indentation, it really help for reading the code and understand it.

C++

#include<iostream.h>
#include<ctype.h>
void main( )
{
	char Text[ ] = "Comp@uter!";
	for(int I=0; Text[I]!=‟\0‟;I++)
	{
		if(!isalpha(Text[I]))
			Text[I]=‟*‟;
		else if(isupper(Text[I]))
			Text[I]=Text[I]+1;
		else
			Text[I] = Text[I+1];
	}
	cout<<Text;
}

No hate here, we were all beginner once. If we don't just give the answer, it is because we know from experience that it is the worst thing to do, it don't help you to learn programming.

This is not informative, asking question is also a wanted skill. Try to give informations like error messages and positions.

Once compiler errors are corrected, you can use the debugger, it is a tool that will allow you to see the program executing.
When you don't understand what your code is doing or why it does what it does, the answer is debugger.
Use the debugger to see what your code is doing. Just set a breakpoint and see your code performing, the debugger allow you to execute lines 1 by 1 and to inspect variables as it execute, it is an incredible learning tool.

Debugger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[^]
Mastering Debugging in Visual Studio 2010 - A Beginner's Guide[^]

The debugger is here to show you what your code is doing and your task is to compare with what it should do.
There is no magic in the debugger, it don't find bugs, it just help you to. When the code don't do what is expected, you are close to a bug.
