How can I read string from an array and compare with a master string ?
So far read a 80 lines of string and store in array is not the problem. My problem start when I try to compare my master sting with the array string. Basically I want to compare how many letters of every single string are iqual to the master string and display the result.
probably I don't explain myself very well. My problem basically is in the string compare, i'm looking to display how many letter I got correct from every string. this is what I want:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
// this is an example the order of the letter "A & B" could be different
string master string: "ABABBBBBABBAAA"
cout<< string a[0];
// output on display "AAABBB BABBAAA";
cout << string a[1];
// output on display: "ABABBBBBABBBB";
cout<< string a[2];
// output on display: "ABABBBBBABBAAA";
cout<<string a [3];
// output on display: "AABABABABBAA BA";
cout<<outputCompare<< "correct" << "string a[0]" << endl // 12 correct string a[0]
cout<<outputCompare<< "correct"<<"string a[1]" << endl // 11 correct string a[1]
cout<< outputCompare<< "correct"<<"string a[2]" << endl // 14 correct string a[2]
cout<< outputCompare<< "correct"<<string .........
compare::mobotuscompareString(){
std::string master = "ABABABABA";
char s2[] = "Brown Cow";
int cnt = 0;
for (unsignedint i = 0; i < master.length(); i++){
if (master.at(i) == s2[i])
cnt++;
}
//I don't get this part: how I call the function and the char s2[] get the next value
for ( int I=0; I< array_string[]; I++)
{
mobotuscompareString.....
}
void compare::mobotuscompareString(std::string compareThis){
std::string master = "ABABABABA"; //or refer to master somewhere else, or pass master as argument
int cnt = 0;
for (unsignedint i = 0; i < master.length(); i++){ //there's a serious error waiting to happen here :P
if (master.at(i) == compareThis.at(i))
cnt++;
}
cout << cnt << "correct comparing" << compareThis << "to master " << master << endl;
// you could also change the return type to int and just return cnt and have the main program do the output
}
// then in main,
int main () {
// do stuff to get strings
for (int i = 0; i < numberOfStringsRead; i++) {
compare::mobutuscompareString(a[i]); // try to have a more descriptive name than "a"
}
// do other stuff
}
