I wanna determine and find out the where the '.' sign is.

I'm doing an if-else conditions, i need to determine where the character is located and make sure it doesn't repeat.

C++ :: Determine Number Of Times Change Each Specific Character In String To Make It Palindrome

Feb 19, 2015

I'm trying to determine the number of times I have to change each specific character in a string to make it a palindrome. You can only change a character one at a time from the end.

Example: "abc" -> "abb" -> "aba" should print 2. "aba" will print 0 because it's already a palindrome. "abcd" -> "abcc" -> "abcb" -> "abca" -> "abba" will print 4 because it took 4 changes to make a palindrome.

I'm not too sure how to approach this - I figured out the case where if it's a palindrome (if reversed string is the same) then it'll print out a 0.

int main() {
int number;
cin >> number; //expecting a number for first line user input
for (int i = 0; i < number; i++) {
string str;

[Code] ....

Visual C++ :: Letting User Enter A Character On Specific Line And Place?

Aug 8, 2014

How can I create in my C++ program so a user can paste a text and then choose a character on specific line and place?. The above thing isn't that important. I just want to place a character on a specific line and place.

You choosed "Line 1 and 2"

Where do you want the the to appear on the line? (left or right)

C/C++ :: Replacing Character In String With Another Character

Sep 13, 2014

So I'm trying to create a function that replaces any instance of a character in a string with another. So first I tried the replace() string member function:

In my implementation file

void NewString::ReplaceChar(const char& target,const char& entry)
{
this->replace(this->begin(),this->end(), target, entry);
};

Main program

#include "NewString.h"
using namespace ...;
int main()

[Code].....

Instead of replacing the the l's with y's it outputted a long string of y's. Also, NewString is derived from the string class (it's for the assignment). the header and whole implementation file, already tested.

I've also tried, instead, to use a for loop in ReplaceChar() but I need to overload the == operator and I don't know how I should exactly:

bool NewString::operator ==(const char& target)const {
if(*this == target)
return true;

[Code]....

I want the == operator to test if the value in the char array is equal to target but I'm not sure how to pass in the position. I'm guessing the this pointer in ReplaceChar() is not the same as the one dereferenced in ==() because target is never replaced by entry in the string.

C Sharp :: Remove Specific Char In String

Jul 5, 2013

int index = -1;
string NewStr = null;
char[] lower = {'a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','j','k','l','m','n','o','p','q','r','s','t','u','v','w','x','y','z'};
char[] upper = {'A','B','C','D','E','F','G','H','I','J','K','L','M','N','O','P','Q','R','S','T','U','V','W','X','Y','Z'};  
foreach (char c in str)

[Code]....

The code above loops through a string and for each character checks to see if it is a lower case character, then checks to see if it an upper case. It then removes it if it is. Leaving only the numbers.

However, it reuses the same string the entire time, never updating the string so it always finds the same (first) character.

C/C++ :: Recursive Function To Move Specific Characters To End Of String?

Oct 16, 2014

I am attempting to write a recursive function that, given a string, recursively computes a new string where all the lowercase 'x' chars have been moved to the end of the string.

For example,

moveXs("xxre") --> "rexx"
moveXs("xxhixx") --> "hixxxx"
moveXs("xhixhix") --> "hihixxx"

Below is the code I have written thus far, but it seems to be returning only empty strings.

string moveXs(const string& str) {
string strCopy = str;
if (strCopy.length() <= 1) {
return str;

C# :: How To Get Int Value Of Each Character In A String And Then Add Them All Together

Aug 20, 2012

I'm trying to get the int value of each character in a string and then add them all together so I can do a 1's complement of the total value. I'm trying to do simple checkum kinda of thing for verification of data.

For example: string DPacket = "Hello World!";

I would like to have each character added and do the ones complement. Will it be easier to convert first to int and then add or any other easier way? So my result should be the decimal value addition of each character and then do the ones complement to that.

C :: Search File For String

Aug 22, 2014

I should state that I am recently new to C programming. I have dabbled with Python in the past, but nothing formal. I am taking a C programming class, but it is an introductory course. As such, the instructor is moving extremely slow through the material.

With this program, I am trying to search a given text file (line-by-line) for user-submitted data. I then want to be able to store which line that data was found on. The program runs, but it always results in "Sorry, couldn't find a match." Even if it shouldn't.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
}

[code]...

I should probably explain my overall goal with this program.I would like to write a program that will calculate the molecular weight of a compound. I expect the user entered molecular compound to be something like this: CH3COOH (An equivalent entry could be C2H4O2)Also, it needs to be case sensitive because the chemical formulas are case sensitive.

The output will be "The molecular weight of CH3COOH is xxx.xxxxx grams".I have two text files as well. One contains a list of all chemical symbols, and the second is a list of all atomic weights in the same order as the first. I want to place the user inputted data into an array, then search for each element of that array in the chemical symbol text file. It will show which line it was found on, then I can use that line to grab the atomic weight from the second text file.

C :: Search Chain In String

Mar 23, 2013

i have a work to do that consists on a given char pointer to a chain and a also given char pointer to a string. i have to search that chain in the string, and return the position where the beginning of the two it's equal. but only if they are equal.

example: string is "abcd" and the chain is "bc". want to find the chain, and if it exists, the position return will be 2. in the work it says that we should use sprintf() too. here is my code, which is incomplet yet.

Code:

char* pos(char* C,char* S){
char *str = S;
char *chain = C;
int i, j, temp;
int lengthStr = strlength(C);
int lengthChain = strlength(S);
}

[code]....

my doubt is how to use sprintf() and where. if i have to use malloc() and free(),

other examples:
pos(AGA,CTGCA)
return:
0

pos(AGA, ATAGATA)
return:
3

pos(AGA AGATAGA)
return
1 5

C++ :: String Character Removal

Dec 25, 2013

I know how to remove certain characters from a string by using something like this:

Code: string str ("Hello world!");
erase (0, 6);

That's great if I want to do that manually, but say if someone entered a string, how would I automatically remove every other character they entered?

C :: Copy A Character To String

Mar 6, 2015

Copy some characters from char * arg to char * first using a loop with specific conditions.

Code:

char * arg;
// set arg some string...
char first_[25];
char * first;
int length;
length=strlen(arg);
for (n++; arg[n] != '}' || n>=length-1; n++)
strcpy(first,arg[n]); // first += arg[n]; I have strcpy(first,arg[n]); but arg[n] is char and strcpy expects char * ;

how to solve this?

C :: Display One Character In A String?

Jun 14, 2013

It's been about two years since I last program c, now I need to do it for a basic project. How would I print out one letter in a string?

For example lets say I have a string called str=[Hello]. I want to display the third letter so just the "l". Here's what I have so far:

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
int main() {
char str[50] = "Hello";
printf("The third letter is : %s
",str[3]);
return 0;

C++ :: Character Displaying From A String?

Jan 27, 2013

I want to input a string, say: abcdaa so, the program should output:

a
b
c
d

In other words, the program will display each character for only ONCE!!!! And display their frequency. Here is my idea: user will input a string and such string will be copied into another string variable called "checker".There will be a loop and each character will be printed, BUT, first, the program will check if the character to be printed is not equals to all elements of the checker string.

I already have the function to count the frequency of each character

GOAL: to make a program that will accept a string and use the HUFFMAN CODING to compress it.

for(x=0; x<string_in.size(); x++) {
cout<<" "<<string_in[x]<<endl;
for(y=0; y<string_in.size(); y++) {
if(checker[y]==string_in[x])
break;
else
checker[x]=string_in[x];
}
}
