Question

Word Search (wordSearch.c)
Write a program that uses the function speci ed below to search for a given phrase
inside a given string. You may assume that the two strings will always be 100 characters
or less.
Implement this function:
int wordSearch(char *sentence, char *phrase);
The function takes a sentence and a phrase to search in the sentence. If the sentence
contains the phrase, then the function returns 1.
The main function will prompt the user to enter a sentence and a phrase to search for.
Then it will use the wordSearch function to determine if the phrase was found in the
sentence or not.

Sample Output:
Enter a sentence: My dogs name is spot.
Enter a phrase to search in the sentence: spot
The phrase "spot" was found.

Enter a sentence: I have a pet dog
Enter a phrase to search in the sentence: cat
The phrase "cat" was NOT found.

Explanation / Answer

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

int wordSearch(char *sentence, char *phrase);
int wordSearch(char *sentence, char *phrase) {

   int i = 0, c = 0;
   while (sentence[i] != '') {
       if (sentence[i] == phrase[c]) {
           c++;
           if (c == strlen(phrase)) {
               return 1;
           }
       } else {
           c = 0;
       }
       i++;
   }

   return 0;
}
int main() {
   char word[100];
   char sentence[100];

   printf(" Enter a sentence: ");
   fflush(stdout);
   gets(sentence);

   printf("Enter a word: ");
   fflush(stdout);
   gets(word);

   int found = wordSearch(sentence, word);
   if (found) {
       printf("The phrase "%s" was found.", word);
   } else {

   }
   return 0;
}
