is there any other way how to use int removetrail(char s[]) without loops FOR and IF
Code:intremovetrail(chars[]){ int i; for(i=0; s[i]!='\n'; ++i) ; --i; /* To consider raw line without \n */ for(i >0; ((s[i] == ' ') || (s[i] =='\t'));--i) ; /* Removing the Trailing Blanks and Tab Spaces */ if( i >= 0) /* Non Empty Line */ { ++i; s[i] = '\n'; ++i; s[i] = '\0'; } return i; }
Yes Tim S.

Can you please tell me how to put it on my code i am new in C language thank you
Look in your book for other loop constructs.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
Code:#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #define STRING_SIZE 100 int removetrail(char s[]); int main() { int result; char mystring [STRING_SIZE+1]; printf("Enter line of input: "); fgets ( mystring, STRING_SIZE, stdin ); result = removetrail(mystring); if (result > 1) mystring[result-1] = 0; printf("[%s]\n", mystring); return 0; } int removetrail(char s[]) { int i; for(i=0; s[i]!='\n'; ++i) ; --i; /* To consider raw line without \n */ for(i >0; ((s[i] == ' ') || (s[i] =='\t')); --i) ; /* Removing the Trailing Blanks and Tab Spaces */ if( i >= 0) /* Non Empty Line */ { ++i; s[i] = '\n'; ++i; s[i] = '\0'; } return i; }

Easier way is iterate through the string from right to left.
Code:#include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> #include <ctype.h> #include <assert.h> /* removes trailing ws from txt */ void trim_right(char txt[]) { size_t len = strlen(txt); if (len == 0) return; len--; /* skip '\0' */ while (len > 0 && isspace(txt[len])) len--; if (len == 0) txt[len] = '\0'; else txt[len+1] = '\0'; } int main() { char txt[] = "Hello \t\n "; trim_right(txt); assert(strcmp("Hello", txt) == 0); char txt2[] = ""; trim_right(txt2); assert(strcmp("", txt2) == 0); char txt3[] = "Hello"; trim_right(txt3); assert(strcmp("Hello", txt3) == 0); char txt4[] = "\n\t\r"; trim_right(txt4); assert(strcmp("", txt4) == 0); }
