Prerequisites

Before starting with this tutorial we assume that you are best aware of the following C programming topics:

  • Operators in C Programming.
  • Basic Input and Output function in C Programming.
  • Basic C programming.
  • For loop in C programming.
  • Conditional Statements in C programming.

What is a string?

As we all know the String is a collection of characters and words. The word is a collection of alphabets. For string, only one variable is declared which can store multiple values. The String can consist of all the typeable data it means Digits, Alphabets, Symbols, etc.

Algorithm:-

Find the First Occurrence of a Word in a String

In this program first, we will take input string from the user. Then we will take the word to be searched from the user. Then will find the first occurrence of that word in that string. Printing the position of that word.

Let us take the example program from the below code to search for the first occurrence of that word.

Program:-

 

Output:-

In the above program, we have first initialized the required variable.

  • strg[100] = it will hold the string value.
  • word[100] = it will hold the string value.
  • j = it will hold the integer value.
  • i = it will hold the integer value.
  • flag = it will hold the integer value

Input string from the user for the program and Take the input Word from the user to search.

Searching the word in the string.

Printing output position of the word.

In this tutorial we have learn about the C Program to Find First Occurrence of a Word in a String and its application with practical example. I hope you will like this tutorial.
