Group consecutive characters of same type in a string

Given a string str consisting of upper case alphabets, numeric digits and arithmetic operators, the task is to group them into continuous sub-strings of same type.
Examples:

Input: str = “G E E K S 1 2 3 4 5” 
Output: GEEKS 12345 
All contiguous upper case characters can be grouped together 
and all the numeric characters can be grouped together in a separate group.
Input: str = “DEGFT +- * 5 6 7” 
Output: DEGFT +-* 567 

Approach: Remove all the spaces from string. After removing all the white spaces, traverse the string one by one and group the characters according to their ASCII values.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Function to return the modified string
string groupCharacters(string s, int len)
{

    // Store original string
    string temp = "";

    // Remove all white spaces
    for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
        if (s[i] != ' ')
            temp = temp + s[i];

    len = temp.length();

    // To store the resultant string
    string ans = "";
    int i = 0;

    // Traverse the string
    while (i < len) {

        // Group upper case characters
        if (int(temp[i]) >= int('A')
            && int(temp[i]) <= int('Z')) {
            while (i < len && int(temp[i]) >= int('A')
                   && int(temp[i]) <= int('Z')) {
                ans = ans + temp[i];
                i++;
            }
            ans = ans + " ";
        }

        // Group numeric characters
        else if (int(temp[i]) >= int('0')
                 && int(temp[i]) <= int('9')) {
            while (i < len && int(temp[i]) >= int('0')
                   && int(temp[i]) <= int('9')) {
                ans = ans + temp[i];
                i++;
            }
            ans = ans + " ";
        }

        // Group arithmetic operators
        else {
            while (i < len && int(temp[i]) >= int('*')
                   && int(temp[i]) <= int('/')) {
                ans = ans + temp[i];
                i++;
            }
            ans = ans + " ";
        }
    }

    // Return the resultant string
    return ans;
}

// Driver code
int main()
{
    string s = "34FTG234+ +- *";
    int len = s.length();
    cout << groupCharacters(s, len);
    return 0;
}

// Java implementation of the approach

// Function to return the modified String

    // Store original String
    String temp = "";

    // Remove all white spaces
