C Program to Check Whether All Characters in First String is Present in Second String

This is a C Program to accept 2 string & check whether all characters in first string is present in second string & print.

This C Program checks whether all characters used in first string are present in second string.

Take input from the user and perform string operations as shown in the program below.

Here is a source code of the C program to check whether all characters used in first string are present in the second string. The C program is successfully compiled and run on a Linux system. The program output is also shown below.

In this C Program, we are reading two strings using ‘str1’ and ‘str2’ variables. The alphacheck() function is used to accept 2 strings & check whether all characters in first string is present in second string.

For loop the tolower() function is used to convert all the characters present in the string to lower case. Compute the difference between each character present in the ‘str[]’ array variable by ‘a’ character value. If condition statement is used to assign the value of ‘a[]’ array variable with base index ‘index’ variable to 1.

The create() function is used to accept 2 strings from str1[] and str2[] array variables respectively. For loop is used to assign the character value to the ‘str[]’ array variable.

If else condition statement is used to check the characters in first string is present in second string by using strcmp() function. If the condition is true then execute the statement, using for loop print the statement as the characters that match in the two strings.

Otherwise, if the condition is false, then execute the else statement. Print the statement as all characters do not match in the string1 and string2.

 
$ cc allchar.c 
$ ./a.out
Enter string1: aspired
Enter string2: despair
All characters match in aspired and despair.
The characters that match are: a, d, e, i, p, r, s,
