C++ String Exercises: Select lowercase characters from the other string

C++ String: Exercise-40 with Solution

For two given strings, str1 and str2, write a C++ program to select only the characters that are lowercase in the other string at the same position. Return characters as a single string.

Test Data:
("Java", "jscript") -> "scr"
("jScript", "Java") -> "Jva"
("cpp", "c++") -> "c++"

Sample Solution:

C++ Code:

#include <bits/stdc++.h>

using namespace std;

std::string test(std::string str1, std::string str2) {
	int str_size;
	str1.size()<str2.size()? str_size=str1.size():str_size=str2.size();
	std::string s1 = "";
	std::string s2 = "";
	std::string result = "";
	for (int i=0;i<str_size;i++)
	{
		if (str1[i]>='a'&&str1[i]<='z')
			s2.push_back(str2[i]);
		if (str2[i]>='z'&&str2[i]<='z')
			s1.push_back(str1[i]);
	}
	 result = s1+s2;
	return result;
}

int main()
{
	string str1 = "Java";
	string str2 = "jscript";
	cout << "Strings: " << str1 << " " << str2;
	cout << "\nCheck said string contains lowercase characters! " << test(str1, str2) << endl; 
	str1 = "jScript";
	str2 = "Java";
	cout << "Strings: " << str1 << " " << str2;
	cout << "\nCheck said string contains lowercase characters! " << test(str1, str2) << endl; 
	str1 = "cpp";
	str2 = "c++";
	cout << "Strings: " << str1 << " " << str2;
	cout << "\nCheck said string contains lowercase characters! " << test(str1, str2) << endl; 

}

Sample Output:

Strings: Java jscript
Check said string contains lowercase characters! scr
Strings: jScript Java
Check said string contains lowercase characters! Jva
Strings: cpp c++
Check said string contains lowercase characters! c++
