Move all special char to the end of the String

In this article, we will learn how to move all special char to the end of the String.

Examples:

Input : !@$%^&*AJAY
Output :AJAY!@$%^&*



Input :Geeksf!@orgeek@s A#$ c%o^mputer s****cience p#o@rtal fo@r ge%eks
Output :Geeksforgeeks A computer science portal for geeks!@@#$%^****#@@%

Prerequisite : Regular Expressions in Java

The idea is to traverse input string and maintain two strings, one string that contains normal characters (a, A, 1, ‘ ‘, etc) and other string that maintains special characters (@, $, etc). Finally, concatenate the two strings and return.

Here is the implementation of above approach

// C++ program move all special char to the end of the string
  
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
  
// Function return a string with all special
// chars to the end
string moveAllSC(string str)
{
    // Take length of string
    int len = str.length();
  
    // traverse string
    string res1 = "", res2 = "";
    for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
    {
        char c = str.at(i);
  
        // check char at index i is a special char
        if (isalnum(c) || c == ' ')
            res1 += c;
        else
            res2 += c;
    }
  
    return res1 + res2;
}
  
// Driver code
int main()
{
    string str1("Geeksf!@orgeek@s A#$ c%o^mputer");
    string str2(" s****cience p#o@rtal fo@r ge%eks");
    string str = str1 + str2;
    cout << moveAllSC(str) << endl;
    return 0;
}
