String from prefix and suffix of given two strings

Last Updated : 18 Nov, 2022

Given two strings a and b, form a new string of length l, from these strings by combining the prefix of string a and suffix of string b.

Examples :

Input : string a = remuneration
        string b = acquiesce
        length of pre/suffix(l) = 5
Output :remuniesce

Input : adulation
        obstreperous
        6
Output :adulatperous

Approach :

Get first l letters from string a, and last l letters from string b.
Combine both results, and this will be resultant string.

Implementation:

C++

// CPP code to form new string from 
// pre/suffix of given strings.
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Returns a string which contains first l 
// characters of 'a' and last l characters of 'b'.
string GetPrefixSuffix(string a, string b, int l)
{
    // Getting prefix of first 
    // string of given length
    string prefix = a.substr(0, l);
     
    // length of string b
    int lb = b.length();
     
    // Calculating suffix of second string
    string suffix = b.substr(lb - l);
     
    // Concatenating both prefix and suffix
    return (prefix + suffix);
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    string a = "remuneration" , 
           b = "acquiesce";
    int l = 5;
    cout << GetPrefixSuffix(a, b, l); 
    return 0;
}

Java

// Java Program to form new string 
// from pre/suffix of given strings
import java.io.*;
 
class GFG
{
    // Returns a string which contains first l 
    // characters of 'a' and last l characters of 'b'.
    public static String prefixSuffix(String a, 
                                      String b, 
                                      int l)
    {
        // Calculating prefix of first 
        // string of given length
        String prefix = a.substring(0, l);
        int lb = b.length();
 
        // Calculating suffix of second 
        // string of given length
        String suffix = b.substring(lb - l);
        return (prefix + suffix);
    }
     
    // Driver code
    public static void main(String args[]) 
                            throws IOException
    {
        String a = "remuneration" , 
               b = "acquiesce";
        int l = 5;
        System.out.println(prefixSuffix(a, b, l));
    }
}
