String

In summary, to replace a specific character in a string in C++, you can use the replace() function with the index of the character, the number of characters to replace, and the new character. This function can also replace multiple characters at once and can be used to replace a character at a specific position. Additionally, the replace() function can be used with different data types, but may require type conversion. Alternatively, the substr() function can be used to extract and modify a portion of the original string without changing the original string.

Replace any space ' ' by '_' in 2-character string passCode.

Sample program:

Code:

#include 
#include 
#include 
using namespace std;

int main() {
   string passCode;

   passCode = "1 ";
   
<student code>

   

   cout << passCode << endl;
   return 0;
}

I'm super lost on this. I could definitely use some help/hints. Thanks.

Check if the 0th character is a space. If so, assign [m]'_'[/m] to it. Do the same with the 1st character.
