Split numeric, alphabetic and special symbols from a String

Difficulty Level : Easy
Last Updated : 16 Jun, 2021

Given string str, divide the string into three parts one containing a numeric part, one containing alphabetic, and one containing special characters.

Examples:

Input : geeks01for02geeks03!!!
Output :geeksforgeeks
        010203
        !!!
Here str = "Geeks01for02Geeks03!!!", we scan every character and 
append in res1, res2 and res3 string accordingly.

Input : **Docoding123456789everyday##
Output :Docodingeveryday
        123456789
        **##

Steps :

Calculate the length of the string.
Scan every character(ch) of a string one by one
- if (ch is a digit) then append it in res1 string.
- else if (ch is alphabet) append in string res2.
- else append in string res3.
Print all the strings, we will have one string containing a numeric part, other non-numeric part, and the last one contains special characters.

C++

// CPP program to split an alphanumeric
// string using STL
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
void splitString(string str)
{
    string alpha, num, special;
    for (int i=0; i<str.length(); i++)
    {
        if (isdigit(str[i]))
            num.push_back(str[i]);
        else if((str[i] >= 'A' && str[i] <= 'Z') ||
                (str[i] >= 'a' && str[i] <= 'z'))
            alpha.push_back(str[i]);
        else
            special.push_back(str[i]);
    }
 
    cout << alpha << endl;
    cout << num << endl;
    cout << special << endl;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    string str = "geeks01$$for02geeks03!@!!";
    splitString(str);
    return 0;
}

Java

class Test
{
    static void splitString(String str)
    {
        StringBuffer alpha = new StringBuffer(),
        num = new StringBuffer(), special = new StringBuffer();
         
        for (int i=0; i<str.length(); i++)
        {
            if (Character.isDigit(str.charAt(i)))
                num.append(str.charAt(i));
            else if(Character.isAlphabetic(str.charAt(i)))
                alpha.append(str.charAt(i));
            else
                special.append(str.charAt(i));
        }
      
        System.out.println(alpha);
        System.out.println(num);
        System.out.println(special);
    }
     
    // Driver method
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        String str = "geeks01$$for02geeks03!@!!";
        splitString(str);
    }
}

Output:

geeksforgeeks
010203
$$!@!!

The time complexity of the above solution is O(n) where n is the length of the string.
