Hey new guy here

what is the correct syntax to use toupper on input using cin

example

char ans;
cin << ans; <-------------------- want it to be uppercase char to the computer regardless of if they use lower case or not

You might be able to do something like the following. It has been a while since I have coded in C.

if(ans[0] >= 65 && ans[0] <= 90) 
ans[0] = ans[0]+32;

That will work on some system, not on others.

There is an uppercase flag you can set to control input/output.

well I'm using visual studio or xcode.
