Hello I have three string functions and I want to know if I'm messing up on something in c++ thanks.

Question

As you can see theres 3 string functions and It will be great if you can try to fix them and explain why you did that. This would help me understand tremendously since they were pretty challenging for me as a beginner

Answer 2

switchCase():
You are using the correct functions, but you only compare things, you never actually convert any letters. The logic can be translated to code in a pretty straightforward way: If letter is uppercase, make it lowercase, and vice-versa, i.e.

if ( isUpper( names[ i ] ) )
{
names[ i ] = toLower( names[ i ] );
}
else if ( ... ) // lowercase

isEmphatic():
You can't chain comparisons like that in C++. Even if you could, what would it be supposed to mean? I get what you might have been trying, but that is not how to put it in code. Counting usually involves a loop, and you'll need a counter variable, to begin with.

middleWord():
Your funtion doesn't seem to resemble the task at all. You need to think of a way to find the first and second whitespace and use everything inbetween to build a new string.

Hey good idea for practice!
You're in good hands 👍

I'm just adding reference link for <string> and <cctype>, two headers you'll likely need for string and char manipulation;
