Question

Given the string "WORDPROCESSING",write a program to read the string from the terminal and display the same in the following formats;
(a)WORD PROCESSING
(b)WORD
PROCESSING
(c)W.P

Answer 1

anu do you need the code in C ??

Answer 2

yes...

Answer 3

ok give me a min

Answer 4

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
char a[10],b[11]; // declaring two character arrays
clrscr(); // clear screen
printf("Enter the sentence:\n");
scanf("%4s%10s",a,b); // getting value from user (%s = datatype for string)
printf("1)%s %s\n",a,b);
printf("2)%s\n%s\n",a,b);
printf("3)%.1s.%.1s",a,b);
getche();
}

Answer 5

@anusha.p run the program and tell me if there are any errors

Answer 6

i can't run...since i don't have any software...for c..
i think it's correct......
just explain me the 3 rd one..annas

Answer 7

hey i can tell you of the IDE

Answer 8

you can use turbo C++

Answer 9

you want explanation for which line ?

Answer 10

i have turbo c actually...but it doesn't work properly....
3rd one..
W.P

Answer 11

That solution is bad juice @annas - I can buffer overflow all in your bis-nass. :P

Answer 12

Little bit of buffer overflow, little bit of shellcode, and I've taken over your program.

Answer 13

I know that it involves some work with the substrings. Is it okay if I show it in Python?

Answer 14

no...no at all ok..@ParthKohli

Answer 15

Also, @annas walking the asker through the question instead of just providing the solution would be a better approach to this problem.

Answer 16

@anusha.p How long have you been coding in C?

Answer 17

Or I'd just tell you the concept.
1) Put a space between those two words by using substrings(I guess).
2) Isn't that the same?
3) Use substrings and concatenation.

Answer 18

I'm not the best at Computer Science, but that's my attempt at it.

Answer 19

i'm a beginner... @farmdawgnation

Answer 20

printf("3)%.1s.%.1s",a,b);
%.1s will take the first value of the string for example if the string is hello then it will take h from the string

Answer 21

Got it. And, they asked you to be able to parse the string "WORDPROCESSING" with no spaces? Is that correct?

Answer 22

yes... @farmdawgnation

Answer 23

@farmdawgnation sire i m really sorry next time will ask first that what they have done. i'll not provide solution again

Answer 24

That's peculiar, but ok. So, you'll find annas's solution should work pretty well glancing over it, but I would advise you to step through the process of building out the solution yourself, if you can, using comments.

Sometimes, if I'm stuck on a hard problem it helps to write in comments what my code is going to do and then fill in the actual code. Make sense?

Answer 25

stringgiven = "WORDPROCESSING"
first_word_initial = stringgiven[0]
second_word_initial = stringgiven[4]
print(first_word_initial + "." + second_word_initial)

Python, maybe.

Answer 26

So, I may start with...

void main() {
// Read string from the terminal
}

And then add additional comments in main until the entire behavior is specified.

Answer 27

Then go back and figure out what functions I need to actually implement that functionality.

Answer 28

ok... @farmdawgnation

Answer 29

main()
{
char s[20];
printf("enter the string");
scanf("%s,s);
//then how to print WORD PROCESSING.?? @farmdawgnation

Answer 30

yes @anusha.p where do you need help ?

Answer 31

how to print WORD PROCESSING

Answer 32

printf("1)%s %s\n",a,b); this is the way to print "WORD PROCESSING" but it will work only if you get input in following format
scanf("%4s%10s",a,b);

Answer 33

where a and b are two arrays (char type)

Answer 34

u should enter WORDPROCESSING as a single word....and u have to print it as...WORD PROCESSING....without using..a for WORD.. and b for PROCESSING..

Answer 35

let me think if i can get any other solution for your problem

Answer 36

yes i have got it.

Answer 37

hint: try to use for loop

Answer 38

for(j=0;j<14;j++)
{
if(j==4)
printf(" ");
printf("%c",word[j]);
} understand ???

Answer 39

don't use loops.
use %.4s.....or something like these only....:(

Answer 40

but this can only be done by loop. loop helps here to break the string into two parts

Answer 41

the final..answer is..........

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
char s[10],d[11];
clrscr();
printf("Enter the string: ");
scanf("%4s%10s",s,d);
printf("(a)%s %s\n",s,d);
printf("(b)%s\n%s\n",s,d);
printf("(c)%.1s.%.1s",s,d);
getch();
}

Answer 42

u r right.. @annas

Answer 43

thank you :)
