Question

lets say that we have:
string list[]= {"12.34.56.78","55.34.5","23.44.5"}
I want the user to enter part of the string which is also a string:
for example string 55 and it will loop through the string a and look for the whole string and print "55.34.5"
What I was doing is:

str is a string input
and list is a whole list of the strings

for (int i=0; i 13 years ago

Answer 1

wel your string was called a, not list.. or was it called a list?

Answer 2

its called list

Answer 3

You want to be able to search for strings by a prefix, correct?

So, for each string, you want to check if the first characters are the same.
This should require only 2 loops.

for (int i=0; i<n; i++){
for (int j=0; j<str.length()&&j<list[i].length(); j++){
if (list[i][j] == str[j])
cout<<list[i]<<endl;
else
break;
