Can anyone solve this question in C programming Language?

[Stella Richards]

Hi,

 

Write code to solve the following problem. Define a function that takes a String as a parameter and returns an integer value. The function need to loop through each character in the input string to find a value of “x”. If a value of “x” is found in the string then return the position within the string where “x” is found else return -1.

Is this request compliant with forum rule #19?

Also, it's a pretty simple question which implies that you haven't even tried at all.

 

 

Can you use C++?

 

 

If so, you could just wrap it in an std::string object and use string's find() method.

 

 

 

If not, I'm assuming by string you mean a null terminated array of characters.  (Not important if it's not null terminated.)

 

In that case, just loop through the array looking for "x".

 

 

 

 

 

Homework's a bitch when you don't pay attention ;p.

What do you have so far, Stella?

Why would you write this function anyway? Use strchr

Besiedes, the task is incomplete. What should be the output, if more tha one occurence of 'x' is found within a string?

To learn how to implement simple algorithms in C, I would assume. This is quite clearly a homework assignment.
