C Program to Remove Spaces from a String

October 13, 2022

Removing spaces from a string.

In this article we will learn how to write a C program to remove spaces from a string. 

Here we will store the string in a character array lets say str and that original string will contain the spaces in between.

Example:- 
Input string: “Prep  insta”

Output string: “Prepinsta”

Remove all character from a string except alphabets in python

Algorithm:

  • Initialize the variables.
  • Accept the input.
  • Initialize while loop and terminate it at the end of string.
  • Iterate each character through the loop.
  • Exclude spaces.
  • Store the string without spaces.

  • Print result.

While loop in C

C programming code to remove spaces from a string

#include<stdio.h> 
using namespace std;
// Function to remove all spaces from a given string
void removeSpaces(char *str)
{
    // To keep track of non-space character count
    int count = 0;
    // Traverse the provided string. If the current character is not a space,
    //move it to index 'count++'.
    for (int i = 0; str[i]; i++)
        if (str[i] != ' ')
            str[count++] = str[i]; // here count is incremented
    str[count] = '\0';
}
// Driver program to test above function
int main()
{
    char str[] = "P re p i  n  sta ";
    removeSpaces(str);
    printf("%s", str);
    return 0;
}

Output

Prepinsta
