Program to Divide a String in 'N' Equal Parts

Program to Divide a String in 'N' Equal Parts on fibonacci, factorial, prime, armstrong, swap, reverse, search, sort, stack, queue, array, linkedlist, tree, graph etc.

<< Back to PROGRAM

Q. Program to divide a string in 'N' equal parts.

Here, our task is to divide the string S into n equal parts. We will print an error message if the string cannot be divisible into n equal parts otherwise all the parts need to be printed as the output of the program.

To check whether the string can be divided into N equal parts, we need to divide the length of the string by n and assign the result to variable chars.

If the char comes out to be a floating point value, we can't divide the string otherwise run a for loop to traverse the string and divide the string at every chars interval.

The algorithm of the program is given below.

Algorithm

  1. Define a string and define n, i.e., no. of equal parts that string needs to be divided in.
  2. No. of characters (variable chars) in each substring will be found out by dividing the length of the string by n.
  3. If the string cannot be divided into n equal parts, then display an error message.
  4. Else divide the string from i to chars (no. Of character)
  5. Then increment the count by chars and continue dividing the string till you get all the parts of the string.
  6. Print the count.

Complexity:

O(n)

Solution

Python

str = "aaaabbbbcccc";
#Stores the length of the string
length = len(str); 
#n determines the variable that divide the string in 'n' equal parts
n = 3;
temp = 0;
chars = int(length/n);
#Stores the array of string
equalStr = []; 
#Check whether a string can be divided into n equal parts
if(length % n != 0):
        print("Sorry this string cannot be divided into " + str(n) +" equal parts.");
else:
    for i in range(0, length, chars):
        #Dividing string in n equal part using substring()
        part = str[ i : i+chars];
        equalStr.append(part);
    print("Equal parts of given string are");
    for i in equalStr:
print(i);

Output:

Equal parts of given string are 
aaaa
bbbb
cccc

C

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    char str[] = "aaabbbcccddd";
    int i, counter, len = 0, n = 3, temp = 0, chars;
    len = strlen(str);
    chars = len/n;
    char c[chars+1];
    //Check whether a string can be divided into n equal parts
    if(len % n != 0 || n == 0) {
        printf("Sorry this string cannot be divided into %d equal parts.", n);
    }
    else {
            printf("%d equal parts of given string are\n",n);
            for(i = 0; i < len; i = i+chars) {
                counter = 0;
                //Dividing string in n equal part using substring()
                while (counter < chars) {
                    c[counter] = str[i + counter];
                    counter++;
                }
                c[counter]='\0';
                printf("%s",c);
                printf("\n");
            }
        }
    return 0;
}

Output:

3 equal parts of given string are 
aaaa
bbbb
cccc
