How can I compare each element of the string with the rest of the string?

For example : string "hello" compare string[0] with the rest ( " ello " ) then string [1] with ( " llo ") I mean comparing one symbol with each symbol of the rest string

#include <iostream> #include <string> #include <cctype> #include <cstring> using namespace std; int main() { string word; cin>>word; int len = word.length(); for(int i=0;i<len;i++){ for(int j=i+1;j<len;j++){ if(word[i]==word[j]){ cout<<word[i]<<" at i = "<<i<<" matches with "<<word[j]<<" at j = "<<j<<endl; } } } return 0; }

your attempt? you will need nested for loop for this. the outer loop will deal with "h' and the inner for loop will deal with "ello" and so on.

I had an idea to make a loop with a counter that resets if the character is equal to the character

#include <iostream> #include <string> #include <cctype> #include <cstring> using namespace std; int main() { string word; cin>>word; int dejcnt;int elcnt; int len = word.length(); for(int i=0;i<len;i++){ dejcnt += 1; if(word[i]==word[dejcnt]) { dejcnt = 0; elcnt += 1;//counter of comparings; } } return 0; }
