C Exercises: Extract words of 3 to 6 characters length from a given sentence
C Basic Declarations and Expressions: Exercise-146 with Solution
Write a C program to extract words of 3 to 6 characters length from a given sentence not more than 1024 characters.
Internet search engine giant, such as Google accepts web pages around the world and classify them, creating a huge database. The search engines also analyze the search keywords entered by the user and create inquiries for database search. In both cases, complicated processing is carried out in order to realize efficient retrieval, but basics are all cutting out words from sentences.
Input:
English sentences consisting of delimiters and alphanumeric characters are given on one line.
Sample Solution:
C Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <string.h>
int main() {
char input_text[1536];
int ctr = 0;
char * temp;
printf("English sentences consisting of delimiters and alphanumeric characters on one line:\n");
fgets(input_text, sizeof(input_text), stdin);
printf("\nExtract words of 3 to 6 characters length from the said sentence:\n");
for (temp = strtok(input_text, " .,\n"); temp != NULL; temp = strtok(NULL, " .,\n")) {
const int len = strlen(temp);
if (3 <= len && len <= 6) {
if (ctr++) putchar(' ');
fputs(temp, stdout);
}
}
puts("");
return (0);
}
Sample Output:
English sentences consisting of delimiters and alphanumeric characters on one line: w3resource.com Extract words of 3 to 6 characters length from the said sentence: com

C Programming: Tips of the Day
Static variable inside of a function in C
The scope of variable is where the variable name can be seen. Here, x is visible only inside function foo().
The lifetime of a variable is the period over which it exists. If x were defined without the keyword static, the lifetime would be from the entry into foo() to the return from foo(); so it would be re-initialized to 5 on every call.
The keyword static acts to extend the lifetime of a variable to the lifetime of the programme; e.g. initialization occurs once and once only and then the variable retains its value - whatever it has come to be - over all future calls to foo().
