Can i write a pragram such that for any name given input by keyboard output will be in such that it indiacate the no of alphabet

Question

for ex-if input is 'pranav' then it's out put should be '15,17,1,13,1,21'

Answer 1

yes you can.
if i was at home i could have create it for you so i just tell you how would i do it.

1. create 2 arrays and a variable.
char alphabet = 'a','b', etc...
int * alphabet_numbers
int counter = 1

2. then you get user input.

3. splits string to chars [ which you dont need because string is bunch of chars ]

4. create dynamic alphabet_variable with the size of your input ( i think input.size() ).

5. use a - z loop.

6. check in the loop if char equal to one of a - z in the loop, if not counter+1. if yes store counter into alphabet_numbers and set counter for 1.

7. output numbers :)

EDIT: youll need to use another for loop for the array index. ( i forgot that sry )

i have made it for you. ( using Jared Bird Method )

Answer 3

@Cain,
Good work your code works well. 😀
One more related tip:
You used the correct decimals for the ASCII codes for the letters​.
You can also use the hex values, ie 65 == 0x41.
More importantly​ you can use the character.
So instead of:
output = output - 65;
you can use:
output = output - 'A';
The code will work the same.
The reason I suggest this is I think it makes the code more readable.
😃

Answer 4

There is a quicker way:
For each character subtract the value of 'a'
then add 1 //you want a to became 1, not 0
Then output.
// you may have to use a cast, unless data is in a char array or string

you probably want think about what happens if character is not a letter or is upper case.

Answer 5

i didnt think about that 😥

Answer 6

That's why we share ideas 😀
The number of times I have finished or got halfway through writing code for something, then realised that there was a better way. 😩
Too many!

Answer 7

hahahha i never tried to convert char to int so i didnt think about that :(
but i have used a - z loop so...

Answer 8

ohhhh my bad. its converting from character to ascii.
ill fix that.

Answer 9

fixed.
