Char Problems

[kennyp5792]

I am not sure how to do this. It is for a part in my C++ class.

I have to create a char Variable called registered and initialize it to an empty space. I do not know how because i thought char could only be one letter ?

They probably mean a whitespace but specifically the "space" created by the space bar you can do this like this
char registered = ' ';


That is not the only whitespace though. There is also the horizontal tab( '\t' ) , vertical tab('\v' ) , new line( '\n' ) , feed( '\f ) , and carriage return( '\r' ).

I would assume the normal space ( ' ' ) is what they mean.

For the "C" locale, white-space characters are any of:
' ' (0x20) space (SPC)
'\t' (0x09) horizontal tab (TAB)
'\n' (0x0a) newline (LF)
'\v' (0x0b) vertical tab (VT)
'\f' (0x0c) feed (FF)
'\r' (0x0d) carriage return (CR)
