How to Divide a string into N equal parts in C++

In this tutorial, we will learn how to divide a string into N equal parts in C++. Also, we have given a string and value of N and our task is to divide this string.

For example:

• Given string: “Better to reduce time complexity”
• Given the value of N= 4
• So, we have to divide this string into 4 equal parts.
• Output:

  Better t
  o reduce
   time co
  mplexity

Approach:

To illustrate:

• Firstly, we will get the size of the string over here.
• Now, to get the size, we will include string.h header file.
• Further, we will get the size of the part.
• The size of the part is:
  size_of_part=total_string_length/N
• Finally, iterate through input string.
• If the Index number becomes multiple of size_of_part, then put a separator over there that is (\n).

Divide a string into N equal parts

Implementation:

 
#include<iostream> 
#include<string.h> 
using namespace std; 

class separator 
{ 

// Function for N equal parts 
public: 
void separatestring(char str[], int n) 
{ 
  
  int size_of_str = strlen(str); 
  int i; 
  int size_of_part; 

  // Check for the string if it can be divided or not 
  if (size_of_str % n != 0) 
  { 
    cout<<"Invalid";  
    return; 
  } 

  // Get the size of parts to get the division 
  size_of_part = size_of_str / n; 
  for (i = 0; i< size_of_str; i++) 
  { 
    if (i % size_of_part == 0) 
      cout<<endl; 
    cout<< str[i]; 
  } 
} 
}; 

 
int main() 
{ 
  separator s; 
  
 
  char str[] = "Better to reduce time complexity"; 

  // Print 4 equal equal parts 
  s.separatestring(str, 4); 
  return 0; 
} 

Output Explanation:

INPUT:  "Better to reduce time complexity"
OUTPUT:     

             Better t
             o reduce
              time co
             mplexity

This is how we can divide a string into n equal parts in C++.
