C++ String Exercises: Reverse the words of three or more lengths in a string

C++ String: Exercise-32 with Solution

Write a C++ program that takes a string and reverses the words of three or more lengths in a string. Return the updated string. As input characters, only spaces and letters are permitted.

Sample Data:
("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog") -> “ehT kciuq nworb xof spmuj revo eht yzal god”
("Reverse the words of three or more") -> “esreveR eht sdrow of eerht or erom”
("ABcDef") -> “feDcBA”

Sample Solution:

C++ Code:

#include <bits/stdc++.h>

using namespace std;

std::string test(std::string text) {
	int i = 0;
	int l = text.size();
	while (i < l) {
		size_t j = text.find(' ', i);
		if (j == text.npos) j = l;
		if (i + 3 <= j) std::reverse(&text[i], &text[j]);
		i = j + 1;
	}
	return text;
}

int main() {
  string text = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";
  //string text ="ABcDef";
  //string text = "Reverse the words of three or more";
  cout << "Original string: " << text;
  cout << "\n\nReverse the words of three or more lengths of the said string:\n";
  cout << test(text) << endl;
}

Sample Output:

Original string: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

Reverse the words of three or more lengths of the said string:
ehT kciuq nworb xof spmuj revo eht yzal god
