A5: Using Strings in C
Aim:Solve the following problems by using strings in C
Question 1:
1. Read multiple sentences that are separated by “.”. Write a program to find the
sentence with the maximum number of words. Apply the following constraints. If
more than one sentence is with the maximum number of words, display the first
sentence with the maximum words.
Example:
Input: C is a general-purpose computer programming language. It was created in the
1970s by Den nis Ritchie. It remains very widely used and influential.
Output: Sentence with maximum number of words: It was created in the 1970s by
Dennis Ritchie. Number of words: 9
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
# include <string.h>
# include<ctype.h>
int main(void) {
int i,j=0,k=0,c[100],count=0,word[100],word_c=1,n=0;
char a[1000],b[100][1000];
gets(a);
for (i=0;i<strlen(a);i++)
{
if(a[i]!='.')
{
b[j][k]=a[i];k++;count++;
if(a[i]==' ')

word_c++;
}
}
else
{
word[j]=word_c;
c[j]=count;
j++;k=0;count=0;word_c=0;
}
}
i=0;k=1;
while(i<j)
{
if(word[i]>word[k]&&k!=j )
{
i=0;k++;
}
else if(k==j)
{
i=j;
}
else
{
i++;k=i+1;n++;
}
}
puts(b[n]);
printf("Total words=%d",word[n]);
return 0;
}

Question 2:
Write a program which replaces all the occurrences of a substring with another in a given
line of text.
Example: Input: “There are 30 bananas on a banana-tree”, “banana”, “apple”
Output: “There are 30 apples on a apple-tree”.
Code:
# include <stdio.h>
# include <string.h>
# include <ctype.h>
int main(void)
{
char a[1000],b[100],c[100],word[100][100];
int i,j=0,k=0;
printf("enter the sentence\n");
gets(a);
printf( "what word did you want to change:");
scanf("%s",&b);
printf("enter a word for this:");
scanf("%s",&c);
for(i=0;i<strlen(a);i++)
{
if(a[i]!=' ' )
{
if(a[i]=='.')
{
k=k+1;j=0;
word[k][j]=a[i];
k++;j=0;
}
else
{
word[k][j]=a[i];j++;
}
if(strcmp(word[k],b)==0)
{
strcpy(word[k],c);
k++;j=0;
}
}
else
