Ey all.

Im folowing a c++ course and im stuck writing string or char arrays to matrices.

The problem is i have a matrix of size [j] with random values from 0 to 3.
Each of these values have to correspond to either a string or char array.

0=EMPTY
1=RES
2=SUS
3=KILL

Now i want to know if it is possible to either make use of enumarations since they already correspond to integer values like.


enum CELLTYPE {EMPTY, RES,SUS, KILL}

and then seed them in matrix randomly put i dont know how to do this.

I think it's much easier to just first seed matrix with 0 to 4 which i know how to do.
But then i cant convert the values to string or char. gives me error cant convert int to char if i do it like this.

char usergrid(int rows, int col, int world[10][10]) { cout << endl; char EMPTY[] = "EMPTY"; char SUS[] = "SUS"; //string RES = "RES"; //string KILL = "KILL"; for(int i=0; i < rows ; ++i) { for(int j=0; j < col; ++j) { if (world[i][j] == 0) world[i][j] = EMPTY; else if (world[i][j] == 1) world[i][j] = SUS; else if (world[i][j] == 2) //world[i][j] = RES; else if (world[i][j] == 3) //world[i][j] = KILL; } } for(int i=0; i < rows ; ++i) { for(int j=0; j < col; ++j) cout << world[i][j] << "\t"; cout << endl; } return world[10][10]; }

plz help!!!!

Use a 2D array of strings instead of integers, and populate it with the proper text as you generate the random numbers
