String Manipulation 2

String manipulation involves operations on strings such as copying, concatenating, and comparing. In C, strings are arrays of characters ending with a null character, and common functions include strlen, strcpy, and strcat. The document also provides a code example to check if a string is a palindrome, demonstrating input and output for both palindrome and non-palindrome cases.

String Manipulation

String manipulation refers to the process of performing operations on strings, such as copying,
concatenating, comparing, finding length, reversing, or replacing characters.

In C, strings are represented as arrays of characters terminated by a null character (\0).

Common String Functions in C

1. strlen(str): Finds the length of the string.

2. strcpy(dest, src): Copies one string into another.

3. strcat(dest, src): Concatenates two strings.

4. strcmp(str1, str2): Compares two strings.

5. strrev(str): Reverses a string (available in some compilers like Turbo C).

Program: Check if a String is Palindrome

A palindrome is a string that reads the same forward and backward (e.g., "madam", "level").

Code Example

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

int main() {
char str[100], reversed[100];
int length, isPalindrome = 1;

// Input string
printf("Enter a string: ");
scanf("%s", str);
// Find length of the string
length = strlen(str);

// Reverse the string manually


for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
reversed[i] = str[length - i - 1];
}
reversed[length] = '\0'; // Null-terminate the reversed string

// Check if original and reversed strings are the same


for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
if (str[i] != reversed[i]) {
isPalindrome = 0; // Not a palindrome
break;
}
}

// Output result
if (isPalindrome) {
printf("The string '%s' is a palindrome.\n", str);
} else {
printf("The string '%s' is not a palindrome.\n", str);
}

return 0;
}

Sample Input and Output

Input:

Enter a string: madam

Output:

The string 'madam' is a palindrome.

Input:

Enter a string: hello


Output:

The string 'hello' is not a palindrome.
