Missing characters to make a string Pangram
Pangram is a sentence containing every letter in the English alphabet. Given a string, find all characters that are missing from the string, i.e., the characters that can make string a Pangram. We need to print output in alphabetic order.
Examples:
Input : welcome to geeksforgeeks Output : abdhijnpquvxyz Input : The quick brown fox jumps Output : adglvyz
We have discussed Pangram Checking. The idea is similar, we traverse given string and mark all visited characters. At the end, we print all those characters which are not visited.
Lowercase and Uppercase character are considered same.
// C++ program to find characters that needs // to be added to make Pangram #include<bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; const int MAX_CHAR = 26; // Returns characters that needs to be added // to make str string missingChars(string str) { // A boolean array to store characters // present in string. bool present[MAX_CHAR] = {false}; // Traverse string and mark characters // present in string. for (int i=0; i<str.length(); i++) { if (str[i] >= 'a' && str[i] <= 'z') present[str[i]-'a'] = true; else if (str[i] >= 'A' && str[i] <= 'Z') present[str[i]-'A'] = true; } // Store missing characters in alphabetic // order. string res = ""; for (int i=0; i<MAX_CHAR; i++) if (present[i] == false) res.push_back((char)(i+'a')); return res; } // Driver program int main() { string str = "The quick brown fox jumps " "over the dog"; cout << missingChars(str); return 0; } |
