I'm looping through each character in this string inputted by the user. The string only consists of 'o' 'g' and 'c'. So for each character, I want to make a certain symbol print to the screen.
I think I can do this by using if statements inside the loop but I'm a little confused on what goes inside the for loop: The following is real and pseudo code idk what goes inside the pseudo-code yet, thus, this question:
So, the first string is inputted by user: say occccgggooo. here's the function I'm working on:
void printSymbol(char *str)
{
int i;
counter = 0;
for (i = 0; str[i] != '\0'; i++)
{ //pseudo code begins
if(o in string)
printf("/*some symbol*/");
counter++; //How do i incorporate a counter to move to next character?
if(g in string)
.......
And so on. I just don't know what goes inside each if statement to recognize each character in the string.
Also, maybe instead of repeating each if statement I can create some function to call instead? should it just be if (str[i] = 'o') and so on? then have a counter variable move the loop forward?
In C, the strings are null-terminated('\0') char arrays, You are using '/0' which is not valid. Try the below code:
you can use s[i]
to access a character at ith
index.
void printSymbol(char *str)
{
int i;
counter = 0;
for (i = 0; str[i] != '\0'; i++)
{ //sudo code begins
if(s[i]=='o')
printf("/*some symbol*/");
//How do i incorporate a counter to move to next character?
// No need to use a separate counter, `i` will be incremented in the for loop.
if(s[i]=='g')
