Question

Question is to expand on current code.(program written in C)

(3) Extract the two words from the input string and remove any spaces. Store the strings in two separate variables and output the strings. 

Ex:

Enter input string:
Jill, Allen
First word: Jill
Second word: Allen
 

CURRENT PROGRAM:

#include <stdio.h>

#include <string.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

#define MAX_LIMIT 50

//Function definition
int Commacheck(char *input)

{

    int flag = 0;

    for(int i = 0; i < strlen(input); i++)

    {
        //if comma is present in the input entered by user, update the fag to 1.

        if(input[i] == ',')

        {

            flag = 1;

            break;

        }

    }

    return flag;

}
//Main function
int main(void)

    {
        //varaiable initialization

        char input[MAX_LIMIT];

        char *word[2];

        char delimiter[] = ", ";

        printf("\n");
        

        //get the input string from the user
        printf("Enter input string: ");

        fgets(input, MAX_LIMIT, stdin);
            
        size_t ln = strlen(input) - 1;
            
        
        //if no comma in the string entered by user

        if(Commacheck(input) == 0)
                    
        {

            printf("No comma in string.\n\n");
        }          
        //When comma is present in the input string
         
        else
            
        {
                    
            char *ptr = strtok(input, delimiter);
                
            int count = 0;
                    
            while(ptr != NULL)
                    
            {

                word[count++] = ptr;
                        
                ptr = strtok(NULL, delimiter);
            }
            //print the first and second word of strings
        printf("String 1: %s\n", word[0]);
                
        printf("String 2: %s\n\n", word[1]);

        

    }
    return 0;

}
