c++ newbie - help debug simple program please
 

#include <iostream.h>

int main ()

{

int mypin;
int brutepin;

mypin = 5178;
brutepin = 0000;

cout << "Trying to match PIN: " << mypin << endl;

// go through possibilities


for ( brutepin != mypin; brutepin++ );



// final check

if ( brutepin == mypin )

{

cout << "Successfully found PIN. It was: " << brutepin << endl;

}

else

{

cout << "Could not find PIN. Sorry";

}


return 0;

}

What errors do you get when you try to compile? Hard to debug a program just by looking at it :)

Edit: nevermind. Your "for" syntax is incorrect. Try this:

I'll give that a whirl. Thanks.

Yep. It works. Thanks!

Wow! It figures it out in less than a second!

I wonder how long it would take with letters & numbers & *, -, _ etc...

That's the next step!

There's a Cray Y-MP with a guest shell account somewhere on the net... try running it on that :D
