Program Plan Intro
String slicing:
- • A span of items that are taken from a sequence denotes a slice.
- • Span of characters are obtained when a string is sliced.
- • The slices of strings are termed as substrings.
Syntax:
The syntax for string slicing is shown below:
string[start : end]
Explanation:
In the above syntax,
- • The “start” denotes the index of the first character in slice.
- • The “end” denotes the index of the end of slice.
- • The expression would return a string that contains a copy of characters from “start” till “end”.
- • If the “end” value is not provided, then it will consider till the end of the string.
- • If the “start” value is not provided, then it will consider from the beginning of string.

The program should then prompt the user for an index, and display the word at that index. Since you must store the entire list in an array, you will need to know the length. The "List of 1000 Mixed Case Words" contains 1000 words. You are guaranteed that the words in the array are unique, so you don't have to worry about the order of, say, "bat" and "Bat." For example, if the array contains ten words and the contents are cat Rat bat Mat SAT Vat Hat pat TAT eat after sorting, the word at index 6 is Rat You are encouraged to use this data to test your program.arrow_forward// MichiganCities.cpp - This program prints a message for invalid cities in Michigan. // Input: Interactive // Output: Error message or nothing #include <iostream> #include <string> using namespace std; int main() { // Declare variables string inCity; // name of city to look up in array const int NUM_CITIES = 10; // Initialized array of cities string citiesInMichigan[] = {"Acme", "Albion", "Detroit", "Watervliet", "Coloma", "Saginaw", "Richland", "Glenn", "Midland", "Brooklyn"}; bool foundIt = false; // Flag variable int x; // Loop control variable // Get user input cout << "Enter name of city: "; cin >> inCity; // Write your loop here // Write your test statement here to see if there is // a match.
