Oh, no, the errors came back as soon as i defined rot locally in the second function.

Oh, Strogian, yes, that is how you call the functions in C++... i use string because i want letters rather than numbers, although i'm beginning to think i should just use int... [integer]

and i'm not using the % operator like it said because i can't think of how i could use it effectively.

I lost my toe the other day...
then I looked down at my foot and found he'd come back to me.

Guess I'll think twice about putting toes in my mouth,eh?
