To delete n Characters from a given position in a given string

In this article, we will write a C program to delete n Characters from a given position in a given string.

Algorithm: 

Step 1: start 

Step 2: read a string 

Step 3: find the length of the string 

Step 4: read the value of the number of characters to be deleted and positioned 

Step 5: string copy part of the string from position to end, and (position + number of characters to end)

Step 6: stop 

To delete n Characters from a given position in a given string

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

main()
{
	char a[30], c[30];
	int pos = 0, i = 0, L, La, j, n;
	puts("Enter a string");
	gets(a);
	puts("enter position for deletion");
	scanf("%d", &pos);
	puts("Enter number of characters to be deleted");
	scanf("%d", &n);
	La = strlen(a);
	L = pos + n;
	for (i = 0; i < pos; i++)
	{
		c[i] = a[i];
	}
	j = pos;
	for (i = L; i <= La; i++)
	{
		c[j] = a[i];
		j++;
	}
	puts("String after Deletion is:");
	printf("%s", c);
}

Input:

 Enter the string
 jayapal
 Enter the position from where to delete:4
 Enter the number of characters to be deleted 2

Output:

 jayal
