Difficulty Level : Basic
Last Updated : 09 Sep, 2021

A string is given, and you have to find all the words (substrings separated by a space) which are greater than the given length k.

Input : str = "hello geeks for geeks 
          is computer science portal" 
        k = 4
Output : hello geeks geeks computer 
         science portal
Explanation : The output is list of all 
words that are of length more than k.

Input : str = "string is fun in python"
        k = 3
Output : string python

The idea is to first split given string around space. Then traverse through all words. For every word, check

    {
        if(s[i] != ' ')
         
            // append this sub string in
            // string w
            w = w + s[i];
        else {
