Can someone help, im new to C++

[mawmany2k]

I have a string containing the sentence: "a do cat from hello thomas d" My task is to read through the string, determine what is the shortest word(s) and what is the longest word(s) then display each. So for the sentence above, i will need to display the following: Biggest word(s)= thomas Smallest word(s) = a, d The problem i have is determining the longest and shortest word(s). This is my first attempt at C++ after Java for 6 months before i changed my course at college Please help me ..::M::..

The simplest way to do it is to use the MFC CString class. It's much like the Java String. Create a new project, choose MFC application, then dialog-based. From this point, you can use the MFC CString class.

Hi, Try with following code snippet. ---------------------------------------------------------- :)CString strSentence = "a do cat from hello thomas d"; int iLongest = 0; //Initialize with minimum value. int iShortest = 1024; //Initialize with Big Value int nIndex; //Backup. If you dont want you can remove CString strHelper(strSentence); while(!strHelper.IsEmpty()) { if(-1 == (nIndex = strHelper.Find(' ', 0))) { nIndex = strHelper.GetLength(); //Last word strHelper.Empty(); } if(nIndex < iShortest) iShortest = nIndex; if(nIndex > iLongest) iLongest = nIndex; strHelper.Delete(0, nIndex+1); //Remove including space. } ----------------------------------------------------------
