Strings

Introduction
String is a sequence of characters that is treated as a single data item and terminated by null
character '\0'. Remember that C language does not support strings as a data type. A string is
actually one-dimensional array of characters in C language. These are often used to create
meaningful and readable programs.
For example: The string "hello world" contains 12 characters including '\0' character which is
automatically added by the compiler at the end of the string. The operations performed on
character strings are:
 Reading and writing strings
 Combining strings together
 Copying one string to another
 Comparing strings for equality
 Extracting a portion of a string
Declaring and Initializing a string variables
The general form of a string is:
char string_name[size];
There are different ways to initialize a character array variable.
char name[13] = "BceClasses"; // valid character array initialization
char name[10] = {'C', 'h', 'a', 'p', 't', 'e', 'r', 's','\0'}; // valid initialization
Remember that when you initialize a character array by listing all of its characters separately
then you must supply the '\0' character explicitly.
Some examples of illegal initialization of character array are,
char ch[2] = "bce"; // Illegal
char str[3];
str = "bce"; // Illegal
C also permits to initialize the character array without specifying the numbers of elements as:
char name[] = "ACEM Kupondole";
char name[] = {'A', 'C', 'E', 'M', ' ', 'K', 'u', 'p', 'o', 'n', 'd', 'o', 'l', 'e', '\0'};

String Input and Output

Input function scanf() can be used with %s format specifier to read a string input from the
terminal. But there is one problem with scanf() function, it terminates its input on the first white
space it encounters. Therefore if you try to read an input string "Engineering World"
using scanf() function, it will only read Engineering and terminate after encountering white
spaces.

However, C supports a format specification known as the edit set conversion code %[..] that
can be used to read a line containing a variety of characters, including white spaces.
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
void main()
{
char str[20];
printf("Enter a string");
scanf("%[^\n]", &str); //scanning the whole string, including the white spaces
printf("%s", str);
}
Another method to read character string with white spaces from terminal is by using
the gets()function.
char text[20];
gets(text);
printf("%s", text);
Traversing string
Accessing all elements of a string on the basis of
 Length of string
 Null character
Example: Counting no of vowels in a string.
int main()
{
char ar[11] = "Bce Classes";
int i = 0;
int count = 0;
while(i<11) // On the basis of length of string //
{
if(ar[i] == 'A' || ar[i] == 'a' || ar[i] == 'E' || ar[i] == 'e' || ar[i] == 'I' || ar[i] == 'i' ||
ar[i] == 'O' || ar[i] == 'o' || ar[i] == 'U' || ar[i] == 'u')
{
count++;
}
i++;
}
printf("Vowels count = %d", count);
return 0;
}
On the basis of NULL characte
int main()
{
char ar[11] = "Bce Classes";
int i = 0;

 int count = 0;
while(ar[i]!='\0') // On the basis of NULL character //
{
if(ar[i] == 'A' || ar[i] == 'a' || ar[i] == 'E' || ar[i] == 'e' || ar[i] == 'I' || ar[i] == 'i' ||
ar[i] == 'O' || ar[i] == 'o' || ar[i] == 'U' || ar[i] == 'u')
{
count++;
}
i++;
}
printf("Vowels count = %d", count);
return 0;
}
Example
A
Ad
Adv
Adva
Advan
Advanc
Advance
Advanced
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
char Cname[100] = "Advanced";
int i, j;
do
{
j=0;
while(j<=i)
{
printf("%c",Cname[j]);
j++;
}
printf("\n");
i++;
}while(Cname[i]!='\0');
}

Arithmetic Operations n characters : C allows to manipulate characters the same way we do
with numbers. Whenever a character constant or character variable is used in an expression, it is
automatically converted into an integer value by the system. To write a character in its integer
representation, we can write it as an integer. For example, suppose
x = 'A';
printf("%d", x);
will display the number 65 on the screen. It is also possible to perform arithmetic operation on
the character constants and variables. For example,
x = 'A' + 5;
is valid statement and value of x will be 70.
C also allows us also to use the character constants in relational expressions. For example, the
expression ch >= ''A' && ch <= 'Z' would test whether the character contained in the variable ch
is an upper case letter. A digit character can be converted in to its equivalent integer value using
the relationship: i = character-'0'; where i is an integer variable and character contains the digit
character. Let us suppose that character contains the digit '8', then,
i = ASCII value of '8' - ASCII value of '0'
= 56 - 48
=8
The library functions atoi converts a string of digits into their integer values. The function takes
the following form.
i = atoi(digit_string);
Where i is an integer variable and digit_string is a character array of digits. Both of the above
concept is illustrated below.
Example
int main()
{
char ch[5];
char character;
int n, x;
printf("Enter a digit character : ");
character = getche();
n = character - '0';
printf("\nThe equivalent value is %d", n);
printf("\nEnter a string of digit character : ");
scanf("%s", ch);
x = atoi(ch);
printf("\nEquivalent number is %d", x);
return 0;
}
Output
Enter a digit character : 4
The equivalent value is 4

Enter a string of digit character : 56
Equivalent number is 56
String Handling Functions
C language supports a large number of string handling functions that can be used to carry out
many of the string manipulations. These functions are packaged in string.h library. Hence, you
must include string.h header file in your programs to use these functions.
The following are the most commonly used string handling functions.
Method Description
strcat() It is used to concatenate(combine) two strings
strlen() It is used to show length of a string
strrev() It is used to show reverse of a string
strcpy() Copies one string into another
strcmp() It is used to compare two string
strlwr() It is used to convert string from upper to lower
case
strupr() It is used to cconvert string from upper to lower
case

strcat() function
Syntax: strcat(string1, string2);
strcat("BCE", "CLASSES");
strcat() function will add the string "BCE" to "CLASSES" i.e., it will output BCECLASSES.
Result is stored in first parameter.

Q. WAP to concatenate two string using user defined function concatenate(). [Don't use
string library function strcat().

}
j=0;
while(s2[j]!='\0')
{
s1[i] == s2[j];
i++;
j++;
}
s1[i] = '\0';
}
Output: Enter string1 : Bce
Enter string2 : Classes
Concatenated string is BceClasses

strlen() function
Syntax : len = strlen(string); where l is the integer variable which receives the value of the
length of the string.
strlen() function will return the length of the string passed to it.
int j;
j = strlen("BCE CLASSESS");
printf("%d",j);
Output : 12
Without using strlen() function
#include<stdio.h>
int stringlength(char []);
int main()
{
char str[50] = "Bce Classes";
int length;
length = stringlength(str);
printf("Length of string is %d.", i);
return 0;
getch();
}
int stringlength(char str[])
{
int len;
while(str[len]!='\0')
{
len++;
}
return len;
}
Output : Length of string is 11.

Array of String
Whenever we use list of character string like name of employees in an organization. A list of name can be
treated as a table of strings and a two dimensional characters array can be used to store the entire list.
For example :
char names[5][50] = {"Shyam", "Ram", "Gopal", "Mohan", "Puneet"};
Which is stored in the tabular form as shown below:

String and Pointers

Like in one dimensional array, we can use pointer to read and write string.
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int main()
{
char *txt;
printf("Enter string : ");
gets(txt);
puts(txt);
getch();
return 0;
}
Reading and writing string using pointer notation until + is encountered. This technique is used
to read string having different types of white space characters.
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int main()
{
char *txt;
printf("Enter a string : ");
scanf("%[^+]", txt);
printf("%s", txt);
getch();
return 0

Compiled By : Deepak Kr. Singh, Pradip Khanal

}
Where txt is a pointer to a character and assigns the address of first character as the initial value.
Important use of pointers is in handling of a table of strings.
We have
char names[5][20];
It means names is a table that can store 5 names of maximum length 20 including null character.
Rarely, the individual strings can be of equal lengths. Therefore, instead of making each row of a
fixed number of characters, we can make it pointer to a string of various length.
Example
char *names[5] = {"Puneet Sharma", "Aman", "Shyam"};
declares array of pointers names of type char and size 5. Each pointer points each row of 2D
array of characters i.e., each pointer pointing to a particular name as shown below.
names[0] Puneet Sharma
names[1] Aman
names[2] Shyam

P u n e e t S h a r m a \0
A m a n \0
S h y a m \0
Here sorting of array of string using pointer can be done by swapping pointers. But sorting of
array of string without using pointer deals with copying the string from one string to another
string.
By using pointer, we can eliminate
 Complicated storage management
 High overheads of moving lines
Q. Sorting of strings using pointer
