[Dev-C++] String Functions

[Linda H. <lz...@sp...>]

Hi All,

Can anyone help me with a couple of functions I am having problems with =
in the String class I am writing?  (It runs.)

The following code is supposed to return the first instance of a =
character, but is returning the last (11):

int String::firstcharfind (const char& charfind) const  //#2
{  size_t i;
   int position;
   for (i =3D 0; i < current_length; i++)
   {
      if (sequence[i] =3D=3D charfind)
         position =3D i;
   }
   return position;
}

This is called by:=20

//#2
   char testing [28] =3D "Delete the extra word word.";
   String demostring (testing);
   cout << demostring.firstcharfind ('e') << endl;

The second function is supposed to delete one of the "word"s in the =
above function:

bool String::charsdelete (int begin, int end)  //#4
{
   int i;
   if ((begin < 0) || (end > current_length) || (begin > end))
      return false;
   int partdeleted =3D (end - begin) + 1;
   for (i =3D begin; i <=3D current_length - partdeleted ; i++)
   {
      sequence[i] =3D sequence[partdeleted + 1];
   }
   current_length =3D current_length - partdeleted;
   allocated =3D allocated - partdeleted;
   return true;
}

It's called by:

//#4
   demostring.charsdelete (18, 22);
   cout << demostring << endl;

The output is:

Delete the extra w      ord.

I'd appreciate any help anyone can give - it's the last class for my =
Data Structures class.

TIA,

Linda
