CS 1430: Programming in C++

1

Data Type string#include <string>// C++ String class

string str1, str2;// Default constructor

cin >> str1 >> str2;cout << “str1: ” << str1 << endl << “str2: ” << str2;

str2 = str1;

2

C++ Class string

if (str1 == “CS2340”) cout << “Programming in VB!”;

if (str1 > str2) cout << “str1 appears after str2 in a dictionary.”;else if (str1 < str2) cout << “str1 appears before str2 in a dictionary.”;else cout << “str1 is the same as str2.”

str1 is less than str2 if word str1 is listed before str2 in a dictionary

(ASCII code ordering)

3

C++ Class string

cout << “str1 has “ << str1.length() << “ chars.”;

cout << “str2 has “ << str2.size() << “ chars.”;

// Just like cin.get() and cin.eof()// They are objects of some classes

4

C++ Class stringString is implemented as an array of char

cin >> str1; cout << “The first char of str1 ” << str1[0];

cout << “The last char of str1 ” //<< str1[?]; << str1[str1.length() - 1];

// Change the first char of str1 to ‘A’.str1[0] = ‘A’;

5

C++ Class stringSubString Function

cin >> str1; cout << “The first three chars of str1: ” << str1.substr(0, 3);// substring starting at index 0 // with length 3

cout << “The last three chars of str1: ” << str1.substr(str1.length() – 3, 3);

6

C++ Class stringgetline(cin, str1, ‘\n’);// not a member function of class string

int pos = str1.find(“ ”);// a member function of class string

str1[pos] = ‘_’;cout << str1;// Change the first space to ‘_’.

7

C Stringconst int NAME_LENGTH = 15;

char LastName[NAME_LENGTH + 1]; // One more for the null char ‘\0’.

cout << "Enter last name: "; cin >> LastName;

// No loops needed!// C++ reads chars until White Characters, // then inserts a ‘\0’.// The array is treated as a string.// and ended with a null char ‘\0’.

8

C String

cout << "The last name is " << LastName; // C++ displays one char at a time // until a '\0' is reached.

What if there is no null character?

9

C String

char name1[16], name2[16];// Up to 15 chars!

cout << "Enter last name: "; cin >> name1;

name2 = name1;// Can we do this?

cin >> name2;if (name1 == name2) // Can we do this? cout << “Same name!”;

NO!10

C String Functions

#include <cstring>//#include <string.h>

Three functions:int strlen(const char str[]);void strcpy(char dest[], const char src[]);int strcmp(const char str1[], const char str2[]);

11

C String Functions#include <cstring>

char name1[16], name2[16];

cout << "Enter last name: "; cin >> name1;

name2 = name1; // Valid?// NO!strcpy(name2, name1); // Yes!

cout << “name1 has ” << strlen(name1) << “ chars.”;

12

Function strcmp()The function compares two strings one char at a time, and stops the

first time the two strings have different chars or a null char is reached for both str1 and str2.

The function returns the difference of the chars at the stopping postion of the two strings.

Return value from strcmp(srt1, srt2) Result 0 str1 the same as str2 > 0 str1 is larger than str2 (later in a dictionary) < 0 str1 is smaller than str2 (earlier in a dictionary)

str1 str2 strcmp(srt1, srt2)“CS143” “CS143” ?“CS1430” “CS143” ?“CS143” “CS1430” ?“CS113” “CS143” ?“100” “99” ?

13

C String Functions#include <cstring>

char name1[16], name2[16];

cin >> name1 >> name2;

int result = strcmp(name1, name2);

if (result == 0) cout << “Same string.”;else if (result < 0) cout << “name1 is smaller than name2.”;else cout << “name1 is larger than name2.”;

// Correct?
