C++ Exercises: From a list of strings, create a new list with "$" at the beginning and end

C++ Basic Algorithm: Exercise-126 with Solution

Write a C++ program to create a list from a given list of strings where each element has "$" added at the beginning and end position.

Test Data:
Sample Input:
{ "1", "2", "3" , "4" }
Expected Output:
$1$ $2$ $3$ $4$

Sample Solution:

C++ Code :

#include <bits/stdc++.h>  // Include all standard C++ libraries
#include <list>  // Include the list container

using namespace std;  // Using standard namespace

// Function to create a new list where each element has "$" added at the beginning and end
list<string> test(list<string> nums) {
    list<string> new_list;  // Declare a new list to store modified elements
    list<string>::iterator it;  // Declare an iterator for traversing the input list 'nums'

    // Iterate through 'nums' list and add "$" at the beginning and end of each element
    for (it = nums.begin(); it != nums.end(); ++it) {
        new_list.push_back("$" + *it + "$");  // Add "$" at the beginning and end
    }

    return new_list;  // Return the new list with modified elements
}

// Function to display the elements of a list
display_list(list<string> g)
{
    list<string>::iterator it;  // Declare an iterator for traversing the input list 'g'

    // Iterate through 'g' list and display each element
    for (it = g.begin(); it != g.end(); ++it) {
        cout << *it << ' ';  // Print each element followed by a space
    }
    cout << '\n';  // Move to a new line after displaying all elements
}

int main() {
    list<string> text = { "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6" };  // Initialize a list 'text' with strings
    cout << "Original list of elements:\n";
    display_list(text);  // Display the original list 'text'

    list<string> result_list;  // Declare a list to store the result of test() function
    result_list = test(text);  // Call the test() function to modify each element
    cout << "\nNew list from the said list where each element has \n$ added at the beginning and end position:\n";
    display_list(result_list);  // Display the new list with modified elements

    return 0;  // Return 0 to indicate successful completion of the program
}

Sample Output:

Original list of elements:
1 2 3 4 5 6

New list from the said list where each element has
$ added at the beginning and end position:
$1$ $2$ $3$ $4$ $5$ $6$
