Chapter 3, Problem 6RQE
Program Plan Intro
C-String:
In C++, a declaration of an array of “char” is usually referred as “C-string”. But an array of “char” is not a C-string by itself.
- An effective C-string needs an occurrence of a terminating null character “\0”.
- No header file is required to make a C-string because “char” is a built-in data type. Therefore, “<cstring>” file contains several functions that work on C-string.
Example:
Consider the below definition of C-string:
//Store the student name with 10 characters
char student_name[10];
- Here the data type “char” is defined first and it is followed by the variable name “student_name”.
- The “[10]” is referred as “size declarator”. It indicates how many characters it can hold in memory cells.

This function returns the index in string s where the substring can first be found. For example if s is “Skyscraper” and substring is “ysc” the function would return 2. It should return -1 if the substring does not appear in the string. int findSubstring(char *s, char substring[]) 5. This function returns true if the argument string is a palindrome. It returns false if it is not. A palindrome is a string that is spelled the same as its reverse. For example “abba” is a palindrome. So is “hannah”, “abc cba”, and “radar”. bool isPalindrome(char *s) Note: do not get confused by white space characters. They should not get any special treatment. “abc ba” is not a palindrome. It is not identical to its reverse. 6) This function should reverse the words in a string.

Test your function with a suitable main.arrow_forwardPlease Help C++ Write a function that returns an integer and accepts a pointer to a C-string as an argument. The function should count the number of characters in the string and return that number. Demonstrate the function in a simple program that asks the user to input a string, passes it to the function, and then displays the function’s return value.arrow_forwardIn C++ with comments please Modify the program 12-7 from page 826 as follows: 1. Add a third C-string as name3[NAME_LENGHT]. 2. Add a pair of cout/cin.getline() for the third string similar to the ones for first and second strings. 3. Add the appropriate case to the "if/else if" structure such that the three strings will be displayed in alphabetical order. Hint: There are 6 possible cases (3!, 3 factorial = 3*2*1 = 6) for all complete permutations. The easiest check is to input the three strings as single letters like: "a", "b", and "c". You "if/else if" should cover 6 cases for the these possible input order: abc, acb, bac, bca, cab, cba. Regardless of the input order the output should be always abc. First "if" condition check is like: if ( strcmp(name1,name2) < 0 && strcmp(name2,name3) < 0 ) cout << name1 << " " << name2 << " " << name3 << endl; You have to complete the rest of the 5 "else if" condition. The last "else" can be used to…arrow_forward
