capatilize first word using space

[dave han]

#include <iostream>
#include <cctype>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[], char **env) 
{
        char c, lastc = ' ' ;
		c= cin.get();
        do {
			if(isalpha(c)) //determines if it is alphabetic
				cout << (char)toupper(c); //capitalizes and outputs
			else
				cout << c; // if not alphabetic, outputs with no change
			lastc = c;
		} while(cin.get(c));
}

hello this is my first post and i need help on an assignment for my c++ class. above is code to capatilze all alphabetic letters entered. this was the first part of the assignement. the 2nd is to then use the code to just capatilize the first letter of each word. i think one would have to do something with spaces using lastc = ' ' but have no idea how to implement that into the code i have written so far. any suggestions or help would be great.

you have the correct idea, try replacing

	if(isalpha(c))   //determines if it is alphabetic
		cout << (char)toupper(c); //capitalizes and outputs

with

	if(isalpha(c) && lastc==' ')
	     cout << (char)toupper(c); //capitalizes and outputs

i.e. if the character is alphabetic and the last character was space make character upper case
