Decryption program not working properly

keltonfan2 (100)
Hey, I have a program that needs to decrypt things with the following cipher:
'!' ­> 'a'
'^' ­> 'b'
'&' ­> 'c'
'*' ­> 'd'
'@' ­> 'e'
'(' ­> 'f'
')' ­> 'g'
'­' ­> 'h'
'#' ­> 'i'
'_' ­> 'j'
'=' ­> 'k'
'+' ­> 'l'
'[' ­> 'm'
'{' ­> 'n'
'$' ­> 'o'
']' ­> 'p'
'}' ­> 'q'
';' ­> 'r'
':' ­> 's'
',' ­> 't'
'%' ­> 'u'
'<' ­> 'v'
'.' ­> 'w'
'>' ­> 'x'
'/' ­> 'y'
'?' ­> 'z'
Only some of them I currently have implemented, however it would be nice if someone could get me code with all of them implemented, also my current code doesn't work.

Great googly-moogly OP! Use a map! : http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/map/map/
This sort of thing is exactly what they are there for.

Sorry, this is graded, and I haven't seen that concept yet, so...
