Split numeric, alphabetic and special symbols from a String

Given a 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
        **##

Recommended: Please solve it on “PRACTICE” first, before moving on to the solution.

Steps :

Calculate the length of the string.
Scan each 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 the all the strings, we will have one string containing numeric part, other non numeric part and last one contain special characters.

            num.push_back(str[i]); 
        else if((str[i] >= 'A' && str[i] <= 'Z') ||

Output:

geeksforgeeks
010203
$$!@!!

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