Count the number of words having sum of ASCII values less than and greater than k

Last Updated : 21 Apr, 2021

Given a string, the task is to count the number of words whose sum of Ascii values is less than and greater than or equal to given k.
Examples:

Input: str = "Learn how to code", k = 400
Output:
Number of words having sum of ascii less than k = 2
Number of words having sum of ascii greater than or equal to k = 2

Input: str = "Geeks for Geeks", k = 400
Output:
Number of words having sum of ascii less than k = 1
Number of words having sum of ascii greater than or equal to k = 2

Approach: Count the number of words having the sum of ASCII values less than k and subtract it from the total number of words to get the number of words having ASCII values to the sum greater than or equal to k. Start traversing the string letter by letter and add the ASCII value to sum. If there is a space then increment the count if the sum is less than k and will also set the sum to 0.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ implementation of the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to count the words
void CountWords(string str, int k)
{
    // Sum of ascii values
    int sum = 0;
 
    int NumberOfWords = 0;
 
    // Number of words having
    // sum of ascii less than k
    int counter = 0;
 
    int len = str.length();
 
    for (int i = 0; i < len; ++i) {
        // If character is a space
        if (str[i] == ' ') {
            if (sum < k)
                counter++;
 
            sum = 0;
            NumberOfWords++;
        }
        else
            // Add the ascii value to sum
            sum += str[i];
    }
 
    // Handling the Last word separately
    NumberOfWords++;
    if (sum < k)
        counter++;
 
    cout << "Number of words having sum of ASCII"
            " values less than k = "
         << counter << endl;
    cout << "Number of words having sum of ASCII values"
            " greater than or equal to k = "
         << NumberOfWords - counter;
}

int main()
{
    string str = "Learn how to code";
    int k = 400;
    CountWords(str, k);
 
    return 0;
}

    int len = str.length();
 
    for (int i = 0; i < len; ++i)
    {
        // If character is a space
        if (str.charAt(i) == ' ')
        {
            if (sum < k)
            {
                counter++;
            }
 
            sum = 0;
