Strings

#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

string toLower(string);
string toUpper(string);

int main() {
    string str = "Hello";

    cout << "string: " << str << endl;
    cout << "tolower: " << toLower(str) << endl;
    cout << "toupper: " << toUpper(str) << endl;
    cout << "string.find('e'): " << str.find('e') << endl;
    cout << "string.length(): " << str.length() << endl;
    cout << "string.replace(0, 1, \"j\"): " << str.replace(0, 1, "j") << endl;
    cout << "string.substr(2, 2): " << str.substr(2, 2) << endl;

    string name = "Bob";
    double value = 123.456;
    cout << name << " earned $" << fixed << setprecision (2) << value << endl;

}

string toLower(string str) {
    transform(str.begin(), str.end(), str.begin(), ::tolower);

    return str;
}

string toUpper(string str) {
    transform(str.begin(), str.end(), str.begin(), ::toupper);

    return str;
}

Output

string: Hello
tolower: hello
toupper: HELLO
string.find('e'): 1
string.length(): 5
string.replace(0, 1, "j"): jello
string.substr(2, 2): ll
Bob earned $123.46

Files

// This program creates a file, adds data to the file, displays the file,
// appends more data to the file, displays the file, and then deletes the file.
// It will not run if the file already exists.
