Unable to store value in array in c++ - c++

Question

What i'm willing to do is i wanna convert all the values of the array to their respective ASCII values and then store them in another array. My code is able to convert the character values into ASCII but it fails in storing them in another array. Please help me out.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main(){
char ass[10];
char name[]= "Chaitanya";
int size=sizeof(name);
for(int i=0; i<size; i++){
int p=name[i];
cout<<p<<"\n";
for(int j=0; j<size; j++){
ass[j]=p;
}
}
return 0;
}
When I try to run this program I get the following error message:
warning: variable ‘ass’ set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]
Thank You!
I got the previous one. But what if i wanna print all those elements stored in ass once again. I'm using the following code and it does nothing. I'm not getting any error.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main(){
char ass[10];
char name[]= "Chaitanya";
int size=sizeof(name);
for(int i=0; i<size; i++){
int p=name[i];
cout<<p<<"\n";
for(int j=0; j<size; j++){
ass[j]=p;
}
}
for(int q=0; q<size; q++){
cout<<ass[q];
}
return 0;
}

Answer 1

Your warning is not a failure. It's just pointing out that once you store it, you never use it!

Answer 2

Your warning is just telling you that you aren't using the variable ass. It's not an error, but you do have a problem in your code:
int size = sizeof(name);
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
{
int p = name[i];
for (int j = 0; j < size; j++)
{
ass[j] = p;
}
}
The second for loop will simply overwrite each character in ass with the single character p. A nested for loop isn't needed, just assign the character from the main loop:
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
{
int p = name[i];
ass[i] = p;
}
Moreover, this can be facilitated through the Standard Library functions. For example:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
int main()
{
std::string ass;
std::string name = "Chaitanya";
for (auto a : name)
{
std::cout << static_cast<int>(a);
}
ass = name;
std::cout << ass; // "Chaitanya"

warning: variable ‘ass’ set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]
This warning just say that you have set the variable ass but you never use it. It is not an error at all.
As an example, try to output a value for this array and the warning will disappear:
std::cout << ass[0] << std::endl;
There is a little part on this warning here: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Warning-Options.html.

Answer 4

The warning is correct, you only set the values of ass you do not use the values set afterwards. If you added let's say a cout after the loop the warning would go away:
std::cout << ass[0] << std::endl ;
I also, don't think you need the second inner loop, if you want to print out each element of ass you could add it that after you set it. So the fix and additions print out could look like this:
for(int i=0; i<size; i++)
{
int p=name[i];
cout<<p<<"\n";
ass[i]=p;
std::cout << ass[i] << std::endl ;
}
