Getting initials from a name

Question

I am working on pset2's initials.c where the goal is to return the initials in upper case. I figured out how to get the initials of the first name, but i am not sure how to get the second name. For example if i typed in krubel sahle, i know how to return the 0'th index which is 'k' in uppercase. However, i dont know how to get the letter 's' in uppercase. All i am looking for is a hint.

Answer 1

You want hints?

Except for the first initial, what character is always before every initial?

There are a lot of library functions out there, some that you should look at now, like tolower(), isalpha(), and a whole lot more. Since you only wanted a hint, I'll let you think about what else is out there. ;-)

Answer 2

If you are using a variable like int i in a for() loop to iterate through the string, and you find a space character at

string[i]

then you should be able to access the next character at

string[i + 1].

Hope this helps.
