Write a program in C to remove the last comma from a string. The below C program takes string having comma’s in it as input and removes the last comma from the string. The program will display the processed string on the output screen.
#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> int main() { //Declare all the necessary variables char *strInput="C Programming, Tutorial site"; char *strOutput; int length = 0; int counter = 0; int flag = 0; //Get the length of input string length=strlen(strInput); //find the position of last comma for(counter = length-1; counter >=0; counter--){ if(strInput[counter]==','){ //position of comma is at index counter break; } } if(counter >= 0){ for(int i=0; i<length-1; i++){ if(i == counter){ //Skip the current index and copy the character at next index of input string strOutput[i] = strInput[i + 1]; //Set flag to 1 in order to indicate we removed last comma flag = 1; } else{ if(flag==1){ strOutput[i] = strInput[i+1]; } else{ strOutput[i] = strInput[i]; } } } printf("\nInput String: %s", &strInput[0]); printf("\nOutput String: %s", &strOutput[0]); } else{ strOutput = strInput; printf("\nInput String: %s", &strInput[0]); printf("\nOutput String: %s", &strOutput[0]); } printf("\n\n"); return 0; }
Here is the output of the above program:
