Exercise on C-String

Exercies on C-String (Lecture 15)

I won't post the solution for the exercises, if you have questions, go to TA sections
1.
(a) What is a string?
(b) A C-String is an array of charaters, yes or no?
(c) Can abitrary sequence of character array a C-String?
(d) Can you define a C-String?
2.
Which of the following can be a C-String?
(a)

char a[10] = "Charles";

(b)

char a[] = {'a', 'b', 'c'};

(c)

char a[] = {'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', '\0'};

(d)

char array[5] = {'a', 'b','\0', 'X', 'Y'};

(e)

char array[5] = {'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'};
array[4] = '\0';

(3) What is the output of the following programs? Indicate the errors if you think that the programs do not work properly.
(a)

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    char name[] = "Amy";
    cout << "Hello " << name << "!\n";
    return 0;
}

(b)

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    char name[] = "Diana";
    for(int i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
        cout << i << " " << name[i] << endl;
    }
    return 0;
}

(c)

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    char name[] = "David";
    name[2] = '2';
    name[3] = '3';
    cout << name << endl;
    return 0;
}

(d)

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    char name[] = "David";
    name[2] = '2';
    name[3] = '\0';
    cout << name << endl;
    return 0;
}

(e)

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    char array[] = {'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', '\0', 'e', 'f'};
    cout << array;
    cout << endl;
    array[4] = '4';
    array[6] = '\0';
    cout << array;
    cout << endl;
    return 0;
}

(f)

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    int array[] = {1,2,3};
    cout << array;
    cout << endl;
    return 0;
}

(4) Find out the compiling errors or runtime error. Circle the errors. Indicate whether they are compiling error or runtime error. Write your corrections.
(a)

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    char a[15];
    a = "Absolute C++";

    return 0;
}

(b)

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    char a[4]="Mary";
    cout << a;
    return 0;
}

(c)

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    char a[4]={'M','a','r','y'};
    cout << a;
    return 0;
}

(5)
(a)
Write a function

int count(char string[], char ch)

The function returns the occurence of ch in of the C-String string
(b)
Write a function

void replace(char string[], char oldChar, char newChar)

The function replaces oldChar of the C-String string by newChar.
Example, if string is "Hello", then after the calling of replace(string, 'l', 'k'), string becomes "Hekko".
(c)
Write a function

void reverse(char string[], char reverseString[])

the reverseString is the reverse of the C-String string. e.g. if string is "Hello", then reverseString is "olleH"
You can assume that reverseString has enough space. Don't forget the null ('\0') at the end of the reverseString !
