strchr() - String Manipulation Function
How to locate the first occurence of character C++?
Explanation
strchr() returns a pointer value to locate first occurrence of "char" in the string "character". If no match is found a NULL pointer is returned by this manipulation function.
char * strchr ( const char * str, int character );
Result :
Character p was found first at 6th place.
In the above example strchr() manipulation function is used to return the pointer "pnt". Since strings are null terminated, array "pnt-arr+1" is used to locate the first occurence of "p".
Syntax:
char * strchr ( const char * str, int character );
Example :
| #include <stdio.h> #include <cstring.h> int main () { char arr[] = "Hscripts is web resource site."; char * pnt; pnt=strchr(arr,'p'); printf ("Character p was found first at %dth place.\n",pnt-arr+1); return 0; } |
Result :
Character p was found first at 6th place.
In the above example strchr() manipulation function is used to return the pointer "pnt". Since strings are null terminated, array "pnt-arr+1" is used to locate the first occurence of "p".
