I need help with my problem. I have an array of strings which is string * A.

A = { dog, doom, dorm, dunk, face, fall, falafel, fart }

I need to check how many string "d" in the array which is 4.
I need to check how many string "do" in the array which is 3.

I was to use binary search to find it. My problem is how do I access part of the string in the array and be able to compare it with another string?

  • You give pseudo code and ask for real code -- how can we know? – Chad Apr 15 '17 at 02:22
  • "I was to use binary search to find it" - how did you "access" the strings in your array when you did *that*? Chances are it will be a similar endeavor. – WhozCraig Apr 15 '17 at 02:22

The string data type in c++ is, in other words, a char array (char[]), for example:

#include <conio.h>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;


int main() {
    //Declare the array
    string foo[3];

    //Inserting values in the strings
    foo[0] = "First word";
    foo[1] = "Second word";
    foo[2] = "Third word";

    //Show the first word of the first string
    cout << foo[0][0];

    _getch();

    return 0;
}

So you can compare each character with that.
