need help with C-string program

Can anybody help me with my prgram?
I have to be able to replace a character in a string with another character.
Example: my string is "Today is monday"
I want to replace all the a's with w's. So that my string looks like:
"Todwy is mondwy"
If anybody can help me with this as soon as poosible I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

First of all, no one here will do your homework. Second read the board rules. Third post some of your code and you will get plenty of replies...give it a try.


hints:
traverse the array and flag anytime the character you want to replace is there and replace is with whatever else you want. To do this you can use a for loop or a while loop with the limit the end of the array; or if the array is longer then the actual string then upto a null symbol

you are only allowed to look if this isn't homework.

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
        int i;
        char str[] = "Today is monday";

        /* Iterate through each character of the string */
        for (i = 0; str[i] != '\0'; i++) {

                /* replacing 'a's... */
                if (str[i] == 'a') {

                        /* ...with 'w's */
                        str[i] = 'w';
                }
        }

        /* too easy */
        printf("%s", str);
        return 0;
}

---

try:

Code:

---

while(*s){ if (s == 'a') *s = 'w';}

---

that should do it or something like that.(It's unchecked so if you get error you may have to use some logic sense :)

Errmm

Code:

---

while(*s){ if (*s == 'a') *s = 'w';}

---

(Still unchecked)

You can always use replace defined in the algorithm header.

Code:

---

#include <algorithm>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    string str("Today is monday");

    cout << str << endl;
    replace(str.begin(),str.end(),'a','w');
    cout << str << endl;

    return 0;
}

---

Output:
Today is monday
Todwy is mondwy

yes I've noticed...I wonder if any of the above posters could do my homework, or if they will even post a reply to my programming questions.

>I wonder if any of the above posters could do my homework
I wonder if any of the above posters would do my work for me so that I can turn it in and do more interesting things. :D

I was just asking for help, not asking for someone to do i for me. I had an idea about how my prgram should go, but when I complied it, it wasn't replacing the letters. I just wanted some help. So thanks to you all. It did help me see what itw as that I was doing wrong.

We are happy to help, but when you ask a question that reeks of homework and fail to supply the offending code, we tend to assume that it is indeed homework and you are looking for an easy out. Just fair warning for the next time. :)
