Overview of this book

C++ is a general-purpose programming language which has evolved over the years and is used to develop software for many different sectors. This book will be your companion as it takes you through implementing classic data structures and algorithms to help you get up and running as a confident C++ programmer. We begin with an introduction to C++ data structures and algorithms while also covering essential language constructs. Next, we will see how to store data using linked lists, arrays, stacks, and queues. Then, we will learn how to implement different sorting algorithms, such as quick sort and heap sort. Along with these, we will dive into searching algorithms such as linear search, binary search and more. Our next mission will be to attain high performance by implementing algorithms to string datatypes and implementing hash structures in algorithm design. We'll also analyze Brute Force algorithms, Greedy algorithms, and more. By the end of the book, you'll know how to build components that are easy to understand, debug, and use in different applications.

Chapter 6. Dealing with the String Data Type

In the previous chapters, we have discussed several simple data structures, such as lists, linked lists, strings, stacks, and queues. Now, starting from this chapter, we are going to discuss non-linear data types. This chapter will discuss the string data type, including how to construct, use, and solve several problems in the string data type. The following are topics that will be discussed in this chapter:

  • Introducing the string data type in C++
  • Finding out whether a string is an anagram or palindrome
  • Creating a sequence of binary digits as binary string
  • Generating a subsequence of a string
  • Searching a pattern in a string
