SMS LANGUAGES

  • Problem Description

    SMS language or textese (also known as txt-speak, txtese, chatspeak, txt, txtspk, txtk, txto, texting language, txt lingo, SMSish, txtslang,or txt talk) is a term for the abbreviations and slang commonly used with mobile phone text messaging.

    Some of the abbreviations used are

    s for yes
    u for you
    2day for today
    y for why

    Many grandpa's have started sending SMSes to their grand children. But they are not familiar with the SMS lingo.

    Can you help them by writing a program that would convert a given text in proper English to SMS lingo? Consider only the 4 words listed above.

    Input Format:

    Input consists of a single string. Assume that the maximum length of the string is 200 and all letters are in lower-case.

    Output Format:

    Output consists of a single string.

    Sample Input 1:

    where were you yesterday?



    Sample Output 1:

    where were u sterday?



    Sample Input 2:

    why is today a working day for you?



    Sample Output 2:

    y is 2day a working day for u?

  • CODING ARENA::
  • #include<stdio.h>
    #include<string.h>

    void replace(char *s1)
    {
        char r[4][10]={"yes","you","today","why"};
        char rep[4][5]={"s","u","2day","y"};
        char buff[500];
        int i;
        char *ch;
        for(i=0;i<4;i++)
            if((ch=strstr(s1,r[i])))
            {
                strncpy(buff,s1,ch-s1);
                buff[ch-s1]=0;
                sprintf(buff+(ch-s1),"%s%s",rep[i],ch+strlen(r[i]));
                s1[0]=0;
                strcpy(s1,buff);
                return replace(s1);
            }
        
    }
    int main()
    {
        char s1[100];
        fgets(s1,100,stdin);
        replace(s1);
        printf("\n%s",s1);
        return 0;
    }

    where were u sterday
  • Test Case 2
