Programming in C Unit - IV Notes

The document discusses string processing in C. It introduces strings and string processing functions. It provides examples of using standard string library functions like strlen to return the length of a string, strcpy to copy one string to another, strcat to concatenate two strings, and strcmp to compare two strings. It also demonstrates extracting a substring using strncpy.

UNIT-IV

String Processing
Introduction to String Processing:
- Strings are sequences of characters widely used in programming.
- String processing involves manipulating and analyzing strings.

Standard String Library Functions:


- `strlen(str)`: Returns the length of the string.
- `strcpy(dest, src)`: Copies the content of the source string to the destination.
- `strcat(str1, str2)`: Concatenates two strings.
- `strcmp(str1, str2)`: Compares two strings.
- Examples of usage for each function.

1. String Length (strlen):


#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main()
{
char str[] = "Hello, World!";
int length = strlen(str);
printf("Length of the string: %d\n", length);
return 0;
}

2. String Copy (strcpy):


#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main() {
char source[] = "Hello, World!";
char destination[20];
strcpy(destination, source);
printf("Copied string: %s\n", destination);
return 0;
}

3. String Concatenation (strcat):


#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main() {
char str1[20] = "Hello, ";
char str2[] = "World!";
strcat(str1, str2);
printf("Concatenated string: %s\n", str1);
return 0;
}

4. String Comparison (strcmp):


#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main() {
char str1[] = "Hello";
char str2[] = "Hello";

if (strcmp(str1, str2) == 0) {
printf("Strings are equal\n");
} else {
printf("Strings are not equal\n");
}
return 0;
}
5. Substring Extraction (strncpy):
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main() {
char source[] = "Hello, World!";
char destination[10];
strncpy(destination, source, 5);
destination[5] = '\0'; // Ensure null-termination for printing as a string
printf("Substring: %s\n", destination);
return 0;
}

1. Introduction to Files in C:
 File:
 A file is a collection of data stored on a storage medium.
 Two main types: text files (human-readable) and binary files (machine-readable).
 File Handling:
 The <stdio.h> header in C provides functions for file handling.
