Computer Science 1620 Strings

Programs are often called upon to store and manipulate text word processors chat databases webpages etc

In C++, we refer to sequence of characters as strings we've been using strings since the beginning of the semester cout << "Hello world!" << endl;

String storage in C++ two ways 1) A character array (C-strings) 2) The string type are these the same? similar, except the string type is much more flexible than the character array

C-Style Strings C Programmers did not have the string type to use a string, they had to use a character array it is useful to be able to use character arrays you may not always have the string type you will learn to appreciate the string type

How is a C-string stored? as an array of chars index 0 holds first character index 1 holds second character … 'H''e''l' 'o'' 'w''o''r''l''d''!' x[0]x[1]x[2]x[3]x[4]x[5]x[6]x[7]x[8]x[9]x[10]x[11] char x[12]; x[0] = 'H'; x[1] = 'e'; x[2] = 'l'; x[3] = 'l'; x[4] = 'o'; x[5] = ' '; x[6] = 'W'; x[7] = 'o'; x[8] = 'r'; x[9] = 'l'; x[10] = 'd'; x[11] = '!'; How does C/C++ know how big the string is?

Null-termination end-of-string symbolic constant shows program the end of the string corresponds to value 0 not character '0', this is value 48 numeric 0 has no corresponding character counterpart can be specified in a number of ways '\0' 0

char x[13]; x[0] = 'H'; x[1] = 'e'; x[2] = 'l'; x[3] = 'l'; x[4] = 'o'; x[5] = ' '; x[6] = 'W'; x[7] = 'o'; x[8] = 'r'; x[9] = 'l'; x[10] = 'd'; x[11] = '!'; x[12] = 0; 'H''e''l' 'o'' 'w''o''r''l''d''!' x[0]x[1]x[2]x[3]x[4]x[5]x[6]x[7]x[8]x[9]x[10]x[11] 0 x[12] Array must be big enough to store all characters plus the terminating null character.

Initializing character arrays character arrays can be initialized in the same ways as other arrays C++ allows you to initialize character arrays using a string literal Advantages automatically puts null at the end easier to type Must be big enough to store literal char x[13] = {'H','e','l','l','o',' ','W','o','r','l','d','!', '\0'}; char y[] = {'K', 'e', 'v', 'i', 'n', '\0'}; char x[13] = "Hello world!"; char y[] = "Kevin"; char x[10] = "Hello world!"; // error

String Output cout is equipped to handle null-terminated character array outputs each character until it finds the terminating null char x[13] = "Hello world!"; char y[] = "Kevin"; cout << x << endl; cout << y << endl;

String Input cin is equipped to handle null-terminated character array programmer must "guess" at a good size of array, to accommodate input powers of 2 are common char x[256]; cin >> x; cout << x << endl;

Line Input what is the output of the following program? assume I type "Kevin John Grant" at the prompt int main() { char name[256]; cout << "Please enter your full name: "; cin >> name; cout << "Name: " << name << endl; return 0; }

cin data tokenized by white space. How do we read in the entire line?

getline use the cin.getline function takes (up to) three parameters 1) the character array to read into 2) the maximum # of characters you wish to read typically, the size of the array 3) an optional delimiting (stopping) character if omitted, default is '\n' (newline)

Line Input what is the output of the following program? assume I type "Kevin John Grant" at the prompt int main() { char name[256]; cout << "Please enter your full name: "; cin.getline(name, 256, '\n'); cout << "Name: " << name << endl; return 0; }

Line Input previous program could also have been written: int main() { char name[256]; cout << "Please enter your full name: "; cin.getline(name, 256); cout << "Name: " << name << endl; return 0; } since no third parameter included, assumes '\n'

Advantages of Character Arrays easy to use setting/retrieving characters can be done using the array indexing syntax char str[256]; str[5] = 'K'; cout << str[6]; C++ has some conventions for making strings easier to handle placing string literals in char arrays handling char array input and output

Disadvantages of Character Arrays 1) Static Size the programmer must decide beforehand how much room to give a character array this leads to two problems: a) too much space b) too little space example: write a program that takes in a name of a person, and prints that name to the screen

Example Program how big do we make our character array? int main() { char name[???]; cout << "Please enter your name: "; cin.getline(name, ???); cout << "Your name is: " << name << endl; }

Example Program how big do we make our character array? how about 10? int main() { char name[10]; cout << "Please enter your name: "; cin.getline(name, 10); cout << "Your name is: " << name << endl; }

Example Program how big do we make our character array? to ensure correctness, better make it 50 int main() { char name[50]; cout << "Please enter your name: "; cin.getline(name, 50); cout << "Your name is: " << name << endl; }

Here, we are wasting 44 characters.

Disadvantages of Character Arrays 2) Difficult to modify suppose I have a string that contains "Saskatoon" I want to change that string to "Lethbridge" how do I do it?

Example Program how do I make the new string hold "Lethbridge"? int main() { char city[50] = "Saskatoon"; }

Example Program how do I make the new string hold "Lethbridge"? int main() { char city[50] = "Saskatoon"; city = "Lethbridge"; // will this work? }

Example Program we can only assign a string literal to a character array upon declaration int main() { char city[50] = "Saskatoon"; // this works city = "Lethbridge"; // this doesn't }

The String type a programmer-defined type not part of the actual C++ syntax rather, defined in a library (like cmath) must include to use this type

Advantages of String type over char array do not need to declare a size the string will "resize" itself as necessary you will learn how this is accomplished in future courses can reassign a string after it’s been declared just like an atomic variable

Example: #include using namespace std; int main() { string city = "Saskatoon"; cout << city << endl; city = "Lethbridge"; cout << city << endl; return 0; } String size not specified. Strings can be assigned new strings.

String Storage the string type stores its characters in an array however, it does not store the null- terminating character rather, it stores the size (# of characters) of the string however, these details are transparent to the user

String Operations 1) Output strings can be output using cout the value sent to output will be whatever value is stored in the string #include using namespace std; int main() { string city = "Saskatoon"; cout << city << endl; // outputs Saskatoon city = "Lethbridge"; cout << city << endl; // outputs Lethbridge return 0; }

String Operations 2) Input strings can be input using cin the value received by the string will be whatever the user types at the prompt #include using namespace std; int main() { string city; cout << "Where are you from: "; cin >> city; cout << "You are from " << city << endl; return 0; }

String Operations 2) Input the string type also allows line input use the getline function note: not cin.getline takes three parameters cin the string variable you are sending the value to an optional delimiting character ('\n' by default) #include using namespace std; int main() { string city; cout << "Where are you from: "; getline(cin, city, '\n'); cout << "You are from " << city << endl; return 0; }

String Operations 2) Input remember that if you want to read until a carriage return, the '\n' is optional #include using namespace std; int main() { string city; cout << "Where are you from: "; getline(cin, city); cout << "You are from " << city << endl; return 0; }

String Operations 3) Assignment a value can be assigned to a string using the assignment (=) operator very flexible in what you can assign to a string variable a string literal a null-terminated character array a single character another string

#include using namespace std; int main() { string str; str = "Hi"; cout << str << endl; char ca[] = "How are ya?"; str = ca; cout << str << endl; str = 'K'; cout << str << endl; string str2 = "Goodbye"; str = str2; cout << str << endl; return 0; }

String Operations 4) Comparison we can use a string with one of the relational operators (==, !=,, >=) compared letter by letter (as discussed previously) very flexible in what you can compare to a string variable a string literal a null-terminated character array another string variable

#include using namespace std; int main() { cout << boolalpha; string str = "Hi"; cout << (str == "Hi") << endl; char ca[] = "How are ya?"; cout ca) << endl; string str2 = "Hello"; cout << (str != str2) << endl; return 0; }

String Operations 5) Character Access with character arrays (C-style strings), we could get any character we wished using the subscript operator char x[] = "Kevin"; cout << x[2] << endl; // outputs v the string type gives us exactly the same feature string x = "Kevin"; cout << x[2] << endl; // outputs v x[0] = 'S'; x[3] = 'e'; cout << x << endl; // outputs Seven

String Operations 6) Size to obtain the size of a string, affix a.length() or.size() to the end of the variable name these types of function calls (class function calls) will be explained later on in this course string x = "Kevin"; cout << x.size() << endl; // outputs 5 x = "Lethbridge"; cout << x.length() << endl; // outputs 10

String Operations 7) Concatenation we can concatenate (fuse into one string) two strings using the + operator the + operator allows several types to be concatenated with a string variable a string literal a character array a single character another string

#include using namespace std; int main() { string str; str = "Hi"; cout << str + " there" << endl; char ca[] = ", how are ya?"; cout << (str + ca) << endl; cout << str + '!' << endl; string str2 = "dden"; cout << (str + str2) << endl; return 0; }

These 6 operations allow some fun stuff with strings 1: Write a program that reads a string from a user, and counts the number of 'e' characters that occur in that input
