Write a function named replaceSubstring. The function should accept three C-string arguments, let's call them string1, string2,

and string3. It should search string1 for all occurrences of string2. When it finds an occurrence of string2, it should replace it with string3. For example, suppose the three arguments have the following values: string1 : the dog jumped over the fence string2: the string3: that Using these values for the three arguments, the function would return another C-string object with the value "that dog jumped over that fence". Please do not use any of the functions in the string class. However you may use any functions such as strstr and strncpy.

Answer:                

Here is the C++ program

#include <iostream> // for input output functions

#include <cstring>  //functions for c string manipulation

#include <string>// to manipulate arrays of characters

using namespace std; // to identify objects such as cout cin

string replaceSubstring( char *,  char *,  char*);  

// function to replace a substring within a sentence to another string

int main() //start of main() function body

{    char string1[100]; // character type array that holds a string for //example the dog jumped over the fence

   char string2[100]; //character type array that holds a sub string of //string1 for example "the"

   char string3[100]; //character type array that contains the string that is to //be replaced with the string2    

   cout << "string 1: "; //prompts user to input string 1

   cin.getline(string1, 100); // reads the string entered by the user

   cout << "string 2: ";//prompts user to enter string 2

   cin.getline(string2, 100); // reads the string entered by the user

   cout << "string 3: ";//prompts user to enter string 3

   cin.getline(string3, 100); // reads the string entered by the user

   cout <<endl; // to insert a new line

   cout << replaceSubstring(string1, string2, string3); }

//calls replaceSubstring() function

string replaceSubstring( char *stringA,  char *stringB,  char *stringC){  

   char *find = stringA;  //pointer find which searches the string in stringA

   char *word = strstr(stringA, stringB);  //pointer word that locates the //string specified in stringB in stringA

   string result = ""; //an empty string to return the final output string

   while(word){ // loop searches the given word that is to be replaced

//the loop iterates until no more  occurrences of the word are found

//append characters of stringA to result string until the first occurance of //the word specified in stringB

       result.append(stringA, (word - stringA));

//append stringC to the result string

       result.append(stringC, strlen(stringC));

//update word to point to character  of stringA after first occurrence of //stringB

       stringA = stringA + (word - stringA) + strlen(stringB);

       //find or locate the new occurrence of word

       word = strstr(stringA, stringB);   }    

     //stringA points to first character after last occurrence of stringB

   result.append(stringA, strlen(stringA));

   return result; }      //returns the final string in output

 

Explanation:

In this program there are three arrays.

string1 which holds the string for example the do jumped over the fence.

string2 holds the string whose occurrence is to be found in string1 example, "the" in string2 is the word that is to be located in string1.        

string3 contains the string which is used to replace the string specified in the string2. For example value of string3 is "that". So in string1 "the dog jumped over the fence", the word "the" specified in string2 is to be replaced by "that" in string3. So the resultant string will be "that dog jumped over that fence".

After taking the values of above mentioned character arrays from the user, the program calls function  replaceSubstring()

The function replaceSubstring() contains a pointer find that is initialized to stringA which is basically string1 to start the search. This function also has a pointer word that is initialized to the first occurrence  of stringB (which is basically string2) in stringA (string1).

As an example, the word "the" in stringB is located in stringA (the dog jumped over the fence).

So the while loop is used in which the occurrence of word "the" is found in stringA and when it finds the occurance of stringB (the) in stringA (the dog jumped over the fence) it replaces the value of stringB to the value specified in stringC . The while loop keeps locating the occurances of the stringB in stringA.

The result variable is used to store the final output string.

The append() function is used to first append the value of stringA to result string till first occurance of stringB. It then appends stringC to result string.  Then stringA points to first character after  the last occurrence of stringB.

The result variable the displays the final output that is : that dog jumped over that fence.

The screen shot of the program along with its output is attached.

Answer:

All is in explanation.

Explanation:

#include <iostream>

#include <cstring>

#include <string>

using namespace std;

//function prototype

string replaceSubstring(const char *, const char *, const char*);

string replaceSubstring(string, string, string);

int main()

{

//declare three char array to hold strings of max 100 chars

char string1[101];

char string2[101];

char string3[101];

//prompt user to enter input

//then read

cout << "Enter string to search:\n";

cin.getline(string1, 101);

cout << "Enter the string you want to replace:\n";

cin.getline(string2, 101);

cout << "What do you want to replace it with?\n";

cin.getline(string3, 101);

cout << "Your updated string is:\n";

cout << replaceSubstring(string1, string2, string3);

//return 0 to mark successful termination

return 0;

}

string replaceSubstring(const char *st1, const char *st2, const char *st3){

//declare pointers start and occurrence

//initialize start with string to search

//char *startSearch = st1;

//initialize occurrence with the first occurrence

//of st2 in st1

char *occurrence = strstr(st1, st2);

//declare empty string

string output = "";

//using occurrence as control for while loop

//means that it will iterate until no more

//occurrences are found

while(occurrence){

//append to final string the characters of st1

//up until first occurrence of st2

output.append(st1, (occurrence-st1));

//append st3 to final string

output.append(st3, strlen(st3));

//update occurrence to point to character

//of st1 just after first occurrence of st2

st1 = st1 + (occurrence-st1) + strlen(st2);

//find new occurrence

occurrence = strstr(st1, st2);

}

//st1 now points to first character after

//last occurrence of st2

output.append(st1, strlen(st1));

return output;

}

string replaceSubstring(string st1, string st2, string st3){

//convert input strings to C-strings

const char *ptr1 = st1.c_str();

const char *ptr2 = st2.c_str();

const char *ptr3 = st3.c_str();

//call function that accepts C-strings

replaceSubstring(ptr1, ptr2, ptr3);

}

All objects in an object-oriented program are instantiated (created) from a ____.
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Class is the correct answer for the above question.

Explanation:

In an object-oriented language, The class is a structure type template, which is used to define the structure but the class does not take memory when an object is created then it takes the memory of class type. For example, if a user-defined class of one member whose size is 4 bit if its store in memory. When a user creates an object, then the object size is 4 bit.

That's why the class is an only structure while an object is used to give the memory for class member and the member of the class also get executed by the object of that class. class have no existence if object is not created. so when a user wants to create a object, he needs to create the object by the help of class name because class is user defined data type and object is variable of that class.

Then the answer of the above question is that object is created with the help of class which is described above.

When recording data on a multiple-disk storage system, should we fill a complete disk surface before starting on another surface
Cerrena [4.2K]

The user needs to complete the entire disk surface first before starting another surface.

Explanation:

When you are using a multiple disk storage system to write the data the disk automatically writes the disk based on the algorithm for better efficiency and availability of the disk space.

hence when you are recording a data on a multiple disk storage system, it is recommended to fill the complete disk surface initially before you start the another surface to record the data.
