String Handling Functions in C
In C language, an array of characters is known as a string. It has the following syntax :
char sk[15]; // It declares a string array with 15 characters.
There are four types of String Handling Functions in the C language.
1. strlen()
2. strcpy()
3. strcat()
4. strcmp()
strlen(): This function is used to find the length of a character string.
Syntax:
int n;
char sk[15]="Las Vegas";
n=strlen(sk);
strcpy(): This function is used to copy a character string to a character variable.
Syntax:
char sk[15];
strcpy(sk, "Las Vegas");
strcat(): This function is used to join character strings.
Syntax:
char sk[15]="Las Vegas";
char pin[10]="88905";
strcat(sk,pin);
strcmp(): This function is used to compare two character strings.
Syntax:
char sk[15]="Las Vegas";
char rp[15]=" New York";
strcmp(sk,rp);
C program to count number of
vowels in a string
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<string.h>
void main()
{
char sk[10];
int count=0,i;
clrscr();
printf("Enter a String :");
gets(sk);
for(i=0;i<strlen(sk);i++)
switch(sk[i])
{
case 'A':
case 'E':
case 'I':
case 'O':
case 'U':
case 'a':
case 'e':
case 'i':
case 'o':
case 'u': count++;
break;
}
printf("Vowels are present in the string : %d", count);
getch();
}
Output:
C Program to Check whether the
Given String is a Palindrome
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<string.h>
void main()
{
char sk[15], rp[15];
int i, j;
clrscr();
printf("Enter the string :");
scanf("%s",sk);
i=0;
j=strlen(sk)-1;
while(j>=0)
{
rp[i]=sk[j];
i++;
j--;
}
rp[i]='\0';
if(strcmp(sk,rp)==0)
printf("%s is a palindrome string",sk);
else
printf("%s is not a palindrome string",sk);
getch();
}
Output:
C Program to Concatenate Two
Strings without using strcat()
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<string.h>
void main()
{
char sk[10], rk[10], st[20];
int i,j;
clrscr();
printf("Enter first string :");
scanf("%s",sk);
printf("Enter second string :");
scanf("%s",rk);
i=0;
j=0;
while(sk[i]!='\0')
{
st[j]=sk[j];
i++;
j++;
}
st[j]=' ';
j++;
i=0;
while(rk[i]!='\0')
{
st[j]=rk[i];
i++;
j++;
}
st[j]='\0';
printf("The Resultant string is %s",st);
getch();
}
Output:
C Program to Convert Lowercase
to Uppercase
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<string.h>
void main()
{
char sk[15];
int i;
clrscr();
printf("Enter a string :");
gets(sk);
for(i=0;i<strlen(sk);i++)
if(sk[i]>='a' && sk[i]<= 'z')
sk[i]=sk[i]-32;
printf("The converted upper case string is %s", sk);
getch();
}
Output:
