Use the below function, that will return first repeated character of string or null; Note: blank space is also consider as character... you can add exception to avoid such case....
char firstRepeatChar(char *str) { int arr[256] = {0}; for(int i = 0; str[i] != '\0'; i++) { arr[str[i]] +=1; if(arr[str[i]] > 1) { return str[i]; } } return 0; } On Fri, Jun 8, 2012 at 2:38 PM, atul anand <atul.87fri...@gmail.com> wrote: > howcome hashing will result in wrong output..?? > > if(isHashed(str[i]) > { > character found. > break. > } > else > hash(str[i]); > > On Fri, Jun 8, 2012 at 2:15 PM, himanshu kansal < > himanshukansal...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> how can we find 1st repeating character in string??? >> e.g. if the string is "abba" it should return 'b' and not 'a'..... >> >> note: hashing will give the answer as 'a'.... >> >> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >> "Algorithm Geeks" group. >> To post to this group, send email to algogeeks@googlegroups.com. >> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >> algogeeks+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. >> For more options, visit this group at >> http://groups.google.com/group/algogeeks?hl=en. >> >> > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Algorithm Geeks" group. > To post to this group, send email to algogeeks@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > algogeeks+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/algogeeks?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Algorithm Geeks" group.
