How String Functions Work? Part II

This is the second part of the article How String Functions (strinh.h) Work?

Here we'll be designing our own version of some other commonly used standard library string manipulation function that we discussed in the article String Manipulation Functions (string.h) II.

These will help increase your programming skills further.

mystrlwr():


  // mystrlwr function
  #include<iostream.h>

  // -- FUNCTION PROTOTYPES --
  char *mystrlwr(char *);
  // --       ENDS          --

  void main()
  {
    char ch[]="C++ ProGramming123";

    cout<<mystrlwr(ch);
  }

  char *mystrlwr(char *str)
  {
    char *temp;
    temp=str;

    while(*str!='\0')
    {
      // change only if its a
      // UPPER case character
      // intelligent enough not to
      // temper with special 
      // symbols and numbers
      if(*str>=65 && *str<=90)
        *str+=32;
      str++;
    }
    return temp;;
  }

mystrupr():


  // mystrupr function
  #include<iostream.h>

  // -- FUNCTION PROTOTYPES --
  char *mystrupr(char *);
  // --       ENDS          --

  void main()
  {
    char ch[]="C++ ProGramming123";

    cout<<mystrupr(ch);
  }

  char *mystrupr(char *str)
  {
    char *temp;
    temp=str;

    while(*str!='\0')
    {
      // change only if its a
      // UPPER case character
      // intelligent enough not to
      // temper with special 
      // symbols and numbers
      if(*str>=97 && *str<=122)
        *str-=32;

      str++;
    }
    return temp;
  }

mystrncat():


  // mystrncat- function 
  #include<iostream.h>

  void mystrncat(char *,const char *,int);

  void main(void)
  {
    char ch[]="This is great!";
    char ch2[25]="Yes ";
    mystrncat(ch2,ch,6);

    cout<<ch;
    cout<<endl;
    cout<<ch2;
  }

  void mystrncat(char *str1,const char *str2,int n)
  {
    int i=0;
    int len=0;

    // skip to the end of the first
    // string(target)
    while(str1[len]!='\0')
      len++;

    // start copying 'n' characters
    // from the start of the 
    // second string (source)
    // to the end of the
    // first (target)
    while(i<n)
    {
      str1[len]=str2[i];
      i++;len++;
    }
    str1[len]='\0';
  }

mystrncpy():


  // mystrncpy- function 
  #include<iostream.h>

  void mystrncpy(char *,const char *,int);

  void main(void)
  {
    char ch[]="This is great!";
    char ch2[20];

    mystrncpy(ch2,ch,6);

    cout<<ch;
    cout<<endl;
    cout<<ch2;
  }

  void mystrncpy(char *str1,const char *str2,int n)
  {
    int i=0;

    // copy 'n' characters
    // from str2 to str1
    while(i<n)
    {
      str1[i]=str2[i];
      i++;
    }
    // put the end of 
    // string identifier
    str1[i]='\0';
  }

mystrrev():


  // mysrtrev function

  #include<iostream.h>

  char *mystrrev(char *);

  void main(void)
  {
    char ch[]="Programming";
    cout<<mystrrev(ch);

    cout<<ch;
  }

  char *mystrrev(char *str)
  {
    char temp;
    int len=0;
    int i,j;

    // find the length
    while(str[len]!='\0')
      len++;

    j=len-1;

    for(i=0;i<len/2;i++)
    {
      // interchange the
      // characters from
      // the beginning to 
      // the end
      temp=str[j];
      str[j]=str[i];
      str[i]=temp;
      j--;
    }

    return str;
  }

The Best Way(s) to Comment out PHP/HTML Code

PHP supports various styles of comments. Please check the following example: <?php // Single line comment code (); # Single line Comment code2 (); /* Multi Line comment code(); The code inside doesn't run */ // /* This doesn NOT start a multi-line comment block /* Multi line comment block The following line still ends the multi-line comment block //*/ The " # " comment style, though, is rarely used. Do note, in the example, that anything (even a multi-block comment /* ) after a " // " or " # " is a comment, and /* */ around any single-line comment overrides it. This information will come in handy when we learn about some neat tricks next. Comment out PHP Code Blocks Check the following code <?php //* Toggle line if ( 1 ) {      // } else {   ...

How to Create an HTML Form Linked with MySQL Database in PHP

If you're looking for example code and detailed discussion on how to create an HTML form that stores data in a MySQL database using PHP then this post might be what you're looking for. I assume that you're familiar with basic HTML, CSS, PHP coding, and  MySQL. I am going to divide this small project into two parts: The HTML form itself that takes input from the user and the PHP script that saves it into the database A table that displays the user-added data that has been saved in the database. We'll be dealing with the first part in this tutorial. Again I'd like to break this problem into a few parts so that it's easier for you to understand and probably gives you an insight into how breaking up a problem into smaller chunks can help make things clearer in your mind. Let's think about it, there is an HTML form (that is HTML code), then there is the PHP code that deals with the user-input data, and the MySQL database itself. For this tutorial, we'll b...

Fix For Toshiba Satellite "RTC Battery is Low" Error (with Pictures)

RTC Battery is Low Error on a Toshiba Satellite laptop "RTC Battery is Low..." An error message flashing while you try to boot your laptop is enough to panic many people. But worry not! "RTC Battery" stands for Real-Time Clock battery which almost all laptops and PCs have on their motherboard to power the clock and sometimes to also keep the CMOS settings from getting erased while the system is switched off.  It is not uncommon for these batteries to last for years before requiring a replacement as the clock consumes very less power. And contrary to what some people tell you - they are not rechargeable or getting charged while your computer or laptop is running. In this article, we'll learn everything about RTC batteries and how to fix the error on your Toshiba Satellite laptop. What is an RTC Battery? RTC or CMOS batteries are small coin-shaped lithium batteries with a 3-volts output. Most laptops use ...
