First Middle Last Letter. Read in a string from cin (it will not have any whitespace).

Question

Read in a string from cin (it will not have any whitespace). Print out the first character, middle character (if string is an even length, print the second of the two middle letters), and last character without any spaces.

Samples:

Input: hello Output: hlo

Input: number Output: nbr

Hints:

1. To get the middle/last you will need to first get the length of the string and calculate based on that
2. The index of the last letter is not the same as the length! In "hello", the 'o' is at location 4

Code:

#include <iostream>

#include <string>

using namespace std;

//Turn off loops - you should not need them!

#define for "OhNoYouDont"

#define while "GetThatOutOfMyKitchen"

//Do not modify anything on or above the line below this

//YOUR_CODE_BELOW

int main()

{

//YOUR_CODE

}

Answer 1

using namespace std;

#include <iostream>

#include <string>

main()

{

string inbuff;

cout << "Input :>";

cin >> inbuff;

int strLen = inbuff.length() ;

char firstChar = inbuff[0];

char lastChar = inbuff[strLen-1];

char middleChar = inbuff[strLen/2];

cout <<firstChar <<middleChar<<lastChar<<endl;

}
