C++ Exercises: Create a new string from a given string

C++ Basic Algorithm: Exercise-78 with Solution

Write a C++ program to create a new string from a given string. If the two characters of the given string from its beginning and end are same return the given string without the first two characters otherwise return the original string.

Sample Solution:

C++ Code :

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

string test(string s1)
          {
            if (s1.length() > 1 && s1.substr(0, 2) == s1.substr(s1.length() - 2))
            {
                return s1.substr(2);
            }
            else
            {
                return s1;
            }
        }
        
int main() 
 {
  cout << test("abcab") << endl;  
  cout << test("Python") << endl; 
  cout << test("abcabab") << endl;  
  return 0;    
}

Sample Output:

cab
Python
cabab

Previous: Write a C++ program to create a new string using 3 copies of the first 2 characters of a given string. If the length of the given string is less than 2 use the whole string.
Next: Write a C++ program to create a new string from a given string without the first and last character if the first or last characters are 'a' otherwise return the original given string.
