    This document discusses string manipulation functions in C++. It describes functions for converting strings to uppercase/lowercase, reversing strings, finding string lengths, copying strings, copying parts of strings, concatenating strings, and comparing strings. These functions allow manipulating strings by changing case, reversing order, finding lengths, copying/moving parts of strings, appending strings, and comparing string values. The header file cstring must be included to use these string manipulation functions in C++ programs.

    String Manipulation Functions

    C++ provides a set of function that can be used for string


    manipulation. The header file cstring must be included
    to use these functions
    • Converting string to uppercase or lowercase
    strlwr ( ) – converts all the uppercase letters in
    string to lowercase.
    Syntax : strlwr ( string);
    strupr ( ) – converts all the lowercase letters in
    string to uppercase.
    Syntax : strupr ( string);

    String Manipulation Functions
    Example:
    char s1[10]= “HELLO”;
    strlwr(s1);
    cout<< “Output :”<<s1<<endl;

    Output : hello
    char s1[10]= “hello”;
    strupr(s1);
    cout<< “Output :”<<s1<<endl;

    Output : HELLO

    String Manipulation Functions
    • Reversing the string
    strrev ( ) – reverses all the characters in the string.

    Syntax : strrev( string);

    char s1[10]= “HELLO”;


    strrev(s1);
    cout<< “Output :”<<s1<<endl;

    Output : OLLEH

    String Manipulation Functions
    • Finding the length of string
    strlen ( ) – returns the length of the string.
    Syntax : strlen ( string constant or variable)
    char s1[10]= “HELLO”;
    int len;
    len = strlen(s1);
    cout<<”Ouput: “<<len;

    Output : 5

    • Copying string
    Suppose you want to store the content of one string variable
    into another, the use of assignment operator (=) is not allowed.
    Instead, you may use strcpy function.

    strcpy ( ) – copies the content of string.


    Syntax : strcpy ( string1, string2);

    // copies the content of string2 to string1

    String Manipulation Functions
    Example:
    char s1[10]; char s1[10]= “HELLO”;
    char s2[10]; char s2[10]= “GOOD DAY”;
    strcpy( s1,”BSU”); strcpy( s2,s1);
    strcpy( s2,”CICT”); cout<< “String 1:”<<s1<<endl;
    cout<< “String 1:”<<s1<<endl; cout<< “String 2:”<<s2<<endl;
    cout<< “String 2:”<<s2<<endl;

    Output: Output:

    String 1: BSU String 1: HELLO


    String 2: CICT String 2: HELLO

    String Manipulation Functions
    • Copying part of string

    strncpy ( ) – copies only a portion ( size) of strings.


    Syntax : strncpy (string1, string2,size);
    char s1[15]= “HAPPY”;
    char s2[15]= “GOOD DAY”;
    strncpy(s1,s2, 3);
    cout<< “String 1:”<<s1<<endl;
    cout<< “String 2:”<<s2<<endl;
    Output:
    String 1: GOOPY
    String 2: GOOD DAY

    • Concatenating Strings
    strcat ( ) – concatenates two strings.
    Syntax: strcat ( string1, string2) ;
    // It appends string2 to the end of string1. The size of string1 variable must be enough
    to hold the concatenated string when declared
    char s1[15]= “HELLO”;
    char s2[15]= “GOOD DAY”;
    strcat(s1,s2);
    cout<< “String 1:”<<s1<<endl;
    cout<< “String 2:”<<s2<<endl;
    Output:
    String 1: HELLOGOOD DAY
    String 2: GOOD DAY

    String Manipulation Functions
    • Comparing Strings

    strcmp ( ) – compares two strings.


    Syntax : strcmp (string1, string2);

    • If string 1 > string2, the function returns a positive value;


    • If string 1 <string2, the function returns a negative value;
    • if string 1 == string2, the function returns a zero value.

    strcmpi ( ) – compares two strings and ignores


    whether an uppercase or lowercase letters are being
    compared .
    Syntax : strcmpi (string1, string2);

    String Manipulation Functions
    char s1[5]="ABC", s2[5] ="BCD”, s3[5]=“bcd”;
    int w,x ,y,z;
    w=strcmp(s1,s2);
    x=strcmp(s2,s1);
    y=strcmp(s2,s3);
    z=strcmpi(s2,s3);

    cout<<" Output 1:" <<w<<endl;


    cout<<" Output 2:" <<x<<endl;
    cout<<" Output 3:" <<y<<endl;
    cout<<" Output 4:" <<z<<endl;

    Output 1: - 1
    Output 2: 1
    Output 3: - 1
    Output 4: 0
