I was wandering if it is possible to have user inputted words stored and each letter as a seperate variable. I know i could just have each letter inputted indvidually but thats time consuming on the users part. Here's an example in case you don't know what i mean: Ex. USER: Tomato COMP: Type a number to have a letter displayed USER: 2 COMP: o USER: 5 COMP: t This is not the type of program I am looking to make, it's just an example.
