Text Analysis

string.find looks for the entire substring provided (as a whole) within the string it is called on. It returns the position of the start of that substring within the original string.

It seems that you are trying to find individual letters that are common between two strings (if I understand your description/code correctly). What you really want, then, is to find the intersection of the two strings.

Please look at the attachment for the intended output. It is meant to output the characters present in each strings when compared

Your examiner has written write a 'java' program for the second assignment!?

Does it mean I can't get it with c++

Your assignment states "Write a program in java " exercise 2, are you sure you want it in c++ ?

I just saw the Java. It should be C++

This is what I have now but the output is not proper yet. The output of the characters should be on the same line. The second part is also showing integers and not characters

Actually, it does say Java, in the second assignment description. I suspect, however, that it was an error - my guess is, they use the same basic assigment in both the C++ and Java courses, and the instructor made a mistake when editing the assignment.

It is an error on the proffessor's part but it is C++

As far as formatting goes, create a function call "space"

string space(int numSpaces)
{
    string mySpace;

    for (int i=0; i < numSpaces; i++)
    {
        mySpace += " ";
    }//for

    return mySpace;
}//

To use it: cout << space(9)

Change line 20 (and some of the other ones) to:

cout<< space(9) << "It is "<<word2.length()<<" characters long\n";

In line 38, move most of the output line outside of the for loops (to line 31):

cout<<"The leters in <"<<word1<<"> which are also in <"<<word2<<"> are:" << endl;

Line 38 becomes:

cout << word1[i] << space(1);

Put the following after the for loop (after line 41):

cout << endl;

string spc( 3, ' ' );
cout << '*' << spc << '*';

Is short code ...

But ... what is a 'word' ? Does it need to be a real word that is in the English dictionary? If so ... that is NOT what you are doing.

See this for starters on a dictionary lookup for your words ...

I think that "compare them outputing the words from word1 which are also in word2 and outputing them and viceversa" is not what the assignment asks for. According to the syllabus, the assignment is to "display the letters from the first word which are also in the second word as well as the number" and "display the letters from the second word which are also in the first word as well as the number".

Here is code that gives the output as in the syllabus:

space:

    string space(int numSpaces)
    {
        string mySpace;

        for (int i=0; i < numSpaces; i++)
        {
            mySpace += " ";
        }//for

        return mySpace;
    }//

Although, I disagree with the correctness of the output on the syllabus (and the above code which gives the output on the syllabus). If I understand the assignment, a letter is unique (based on case). Therefore it shouldn't be printed out more than once or counted more than once. If there are two "n" then it should be only printed once and counted once. You may want to verify with your instructor.

I have a good output now. I am pasting it for reference purpose. Thank you
