I'm pretty new to c++ and tried this project and got it to work. Basically it takes a word and a sentence then changes the word to asterisks whenever said word is found in the sentence.
The problem I am facing is I tried taking it a step further by asking the user to input a word and input a sentence and then using those as a stored variable to run the code exactly the same way as before, but this doesn't work and only outputs the first word of the sentence. I can't figure it out why it's doing that. Everything is the same except for the cin. Am I just not understanding how cin works with strings?
Main code:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include "functions.hpp"
using namespace std;
int main() {
string word = "brocolli";
string sentence = "Roll up that brocolli. I love brocolli!";
bleep(word, sentence);
for (int i = 0; i < sentence.size(); i++) {
cout << sentence[i];
}
cout << "\n";
return 0;
}
Header file:
#include <string>
void asterisk(std::string word, std::string &text, int i);
void bleep(std::string word, std::string &text);
Functions file:
#include <string>
#include "functions.hpp"
using namespace std;
void asterisk(string word, string &text, int i) {
for (int k = 0; k < word.size(); ++k) {
text[i+k] = '*';
}
}
void bleep(string word, string &text) {
for (int i = 0; i < text.size(); ++i) {
int match = 0;
for (int j = 0; j < word.size(); ++j) {
if (text[i+j] == word[j]) {
++match;
}
}
if (match == word.size()) {
asterisk(word, text, i);
}
}
}
Adjusted main code to include cin:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include "functions.hpp"
using namespace std;
int main() {
string word;
string sentence;
cout << "Word: ";
cin >> word;
cout << "Sentence: ";
cin >> sentence;
bleep(word, sentence);
for (int i = 0; i < sentence.size(); i++) {
cout << sentence[i];
}
cout << "\n";
return 0;
}
