Program to find the initials of a name in C++
In the program, we are given a string name that denotes the name of a person. Our task is to create a Program to find the initials of a name in C++.
Code Description − Here, we have to find the initials of the name of the person given by the string.
Let’s take an example to understand the problem,
Input
name = “ram kisan saraswat”
Output
R K S
Explanation
We will find all the first letters of words of the name.
Solution Approach
A simple solution to the problem is by traversing the name string. And all the characters that appear after the newline character or space character are the initials and need to be printed in upperCase.
Program to illustrate the working of our solution,
Example
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void findNameInitials(const string& name) {
cout<<(char)toupper(name[0]);
for (int i = 0; i < name.length() - 1; i++)
if(name[i] == ' ' || name[i] == '\n')
cout << " " << (char)toupper(name[i + 1]);
}
int main() {
string name = "ram kisan\nsaraswat";
cout<<"The initials of the name are ";
findNameInitials(name);
return 0;
}Output
The initials of the name are R K S
