C++ Exercises: Concatenate three copies of each string in a given list of strings

C++ Basic Algorithm: Exercise-127 with Solution

Write a C++ program to create a new list from a given list of strings where each element is replaced by 3 copies of the string concatenated together.

Test Data:
Sample Input:
{ "1", "2", "3" , "4" }
Expected Output :
111 222 333 444

Sample Solution:

C++ Code :

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
#include <list>

using namespace std;

list<string> test(list<string> nums) {
	       list<string> new_list;
	       list<string>::iterator it;
           for (it = nums.begin(); it != nums.end(); ++it)
            {
                new_list.push_back(*it + *it + *it);                
            }

            return new_list;
}

display_list(list<string> g)
{
    list<string>::iterator it;
    for (it = g.begin(); it != g.end(); ++it)
        cout << *it << ' ';
    cout << '\n';
}

int main() {

  list<string> text = { "1", "2", "3" , "4", "5", "6" };
  cout << "Original list of elements:\n";
  display_list(text);
  list<string> result_list;
  result_list = test(text);
  cout << "\nNew list from the said list where each element is replaced\nby 3 copies of the string concatenated together:\n";
  display_list(result_list);
  return 0;
}

Sample Output:

Original list of elements:
1 2 3 4 5 6

New list from the said list where each element is replaced
by 3 copies of the string concatenated together:
111 222 333 444 555 666

Previous: From a list of strings, create a new list with "$" at the beginning and end.
Next: Create a list of integers, add each value to 3 and multiply the result by 4.

C++ Programming: Tips of the Day

What is the usefulness of `enable_shared_from_this?

It enables you to get a valid shared_ptr instance to this, when all you have is this. Without it, you would have no way of getting a shared_ptr to this, unless you already had one as a member. 

class Y: public enable_shared_from_this
{
public:

    shared_ptr f()
    {
        return shared_from_this();
    }
}

int main()
{
    shared_ptr p(new Y);
    shared_ptr q = p->f();
    assert(p == q);
    assert(!(p < q || q < p)); // p and q must share ownership
}

The method f() returns a valid shared_ptr, even though it had no member instance. Note that you cannot simply do this:

class Y: public enable_shared_from_this
{
public:

    shared_ptr f()
    {
        return shared_ptr(this);
    }
}

The shared pointer that this returned will have a different reference count from the "proper" one, and one of them will end up losing and holding a dangling reference when the object is deleted.
