In this tutorial you will learn about the C Program to Removing All Occurrences of a Character in a String and its application with practical example.
C Program to Remove All Occurrences of a Character in a String
In this tutorial, we will learn to create a C program that will Remove All Occurrences of a Character in a String in C programming
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:-

1. Declaring the variables for the program. 2. Taking the input string from the user. 3. Finding the characters in string. 4. Passing those variables to for loop. 5. Using conditional statements for the program to removing all the occerence character. 6. Printing the result string. 7. End the program. |
Removing All the Occurrences of a Character in a String
In this program First, we will take input strings from the user. Then we will take the character to be searched and removed from the string. Then will be Removing all the Occurrence of the Character in that String. Printing the result string.
Let us take the example program from the below code for Removing all the Occurrences of that Character in that String.
Program Code:-

/* **C Program to Remove All Occurrences of a Character in a String** */ #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> int main() { //declaring the required variable for teh prorgam. char str[100], ch; int i, len, j; //Taking the input string fro mthe user. printf("\n Please Enter any String : "); gets(str); //Taking the character to be removed from the string. printf("\n Please Enter the Character that you want to Remove : "); scanf("%c", &ch); len = strlen(str); //Removing all the occurences of that character from that string. for(i = 0; i < len; i++) { if(str[i] == ch) { for(j = i; j < len; j++) { str[j] = str[j + 1]; } len--; i--; } } //Printing the result string after the remmoval of that character. printf("\n The Final String after Removing All Occurrences of '%c' = %s ", ch, str); return 0; } |
Output:-
In the above program, we have Last initialized the required variable.
- str[100] = it will hold the string value.
- ch = it will hold the string value.
- len = it will hold the integer value.
- i = it will hold the integer value.
Input string from the user for the program and Take the input character from the user to remove.
Removing that character from the string.
Printing output String.
