The STL library in C++ provides various inbuilt functions and methods to manipulate strings, such as converting them to lower case or upper case. In this article, we will learn all the approaches to convert a std::string to lower case in C++. First of all, let's understand the problem statement. In this problem, you are given a string as input and you need to convert it to lower case. The string may contain any type of characters such as letters, digits, and special characters. For example: // Input String std::string str = "Hello World! 123 @ TutorialsPoint"; // ...

The peak element in an array is an element that is greater than its neighbor elements i.e., its left and right element. If the peak element is the starting element, then it should be greater than the next element (second element). If the peak element is the last element, then it should be greater than its previous value i.e., the second last element. In this article, we have an array of integers. Our task is to use the binary search algorithm to find the peak element present in the given array. Example Here are two examples to understand the ...

std::string The std::string is a class of C++ Standard Library (STL) that represents a string (sequence of characters). It is used to handle strings with better memory management, i.e., it provides dynamic memory management for strings and supports a rich set of in-built functions for string manipulation. Syntax Following is the syntax of string: string str = "tutorialspoint"; std::LPCSTR LPCSTR stands for Long Pointer to Constant String. It is a constant, null-terminated string of ANSI (narrow) characters (8-bit characters). In contrast to LPCWSTR, which stores wide characters (Unicode/UTF-16), LPCSTR is used in Windows API functions to store regular char-based ...

In data structure & algorithm, we have a deque header file that handles the properties of stack and queue. For getting minimum and maximum value from O(1) time complexity, we need constant time. So, deque is one of the possible advantages of using both stack and queue. O(1) Time Complexity The O(1) time complexity is also known as constant time which defines an algorithm for taking the same amount of time instead of using size input. Syntax The basic syntax of deque data structure is as follows: deque name_of_queue; Here, deque : It ...

In C++, we can create vectors easily using the standard library. We are taking the main string and the string that will be searched as a vector, then searching it into the main string. When one match is found the function returns the address, and removes it from the main string. So in the next iteration, it starts from location 0 and searches again. For multiple occurrences, we are using loops and repeatedly searching for the match, and return the position. Input: Main String: "ABCcdABCcdABC" Substring to search: "cd" Output: Match found at Position = 1 Match found at ...

C++ Program to Find the Minimum element of an Array using Binary Search approach

Updated on 04-Jun-2025 362 Views

The binary search works on the divide and conquer principle as it keeps dividing the array into half before searching. For applying the binary search algorithm, the given array should be sorted. Since the array is sorted we do not need to search the minimum element in the array. In this article, the given array has strictly decreasing elements in the left sub-array till it reaches the minimum element and the right sub-array has strictly increasing elements. For example: {40, 30, 20, 10, 25, 35}. In this example, the array is decreasing till it ...

The binary search works on the divide and conquer principle as it keeps dividing the array into half before searching. For applying the binary search algorithm, the given array should be sorted. Since the array is sorted we do not need to search the maximum element in the array. Here, the given array is a Bitonic array. A bitonic array is an array in which the left sub-array has strictly increasing elements till it reaches the peak element and the right sub-array has strictly decreasing elements. For example: {10, 20, 30, 40, 35, 25}. In this example, the array is ...

In C++, character literals are the constant values, which are assigned to variables of the character data type. These values are represented by a character enclosed within single quotation marks. There are mainly five types of character literals: Narrow-character literals Wide-character literals. UTF-8 character literals UTF-16 character literals UTF-32 character literals Narrow-character Literals These character literals are of type char, which represents single-byte character. It stores characters from the ASCII table, which includes values ranging from 0 to ...

In C++, when a class inherits from another class, it inherits all members from parent class, but their accessibility are based on access specifiers. Key Points on What Inherits from Parent Class Following are some points on derived class inherits from its parent: The derived class can inherit data members, member functions of base class. If the data members are public, they can be accessed by derived class, same class and outside the class. If data members are protected, they can be accessed by derived and same ...

In C/C++, char represents a single character, whereas int is an integer that can store both positive and negative values, but not fractional or decimal values. If you are given a character and want to convert it into an integer, it is easy and can be achieved with the different approaches. In this article, we will learn how we can convert a given character to an integer with different approaches. The following are some of the ways to convert a character to an integer: Using sscanf() Function Using atoi() Function ...
