Many websites ask for phone numbers. The problem is that there are so many different ways to represent a phone number. Examples include 817-555-1234, 817 555 1234 (c), and (817) 555-1234 x23. Write a Raptor program which inputs a string containing a phone number in any format and outputs it in the standard format. For this assignment, the standard format is (817) 555-1234.

Sample Output(inputs in bold) Please enter a phone number: 817-555-1234 The properly formatted number is (817) 555-1234 Please enter a phone number: (817)515 7259 x23 The phone number must have 10 digits Please enter a phone number: 214 555 9999 (c) The properly formatted number is (214) 555-9999 Please enter a phone number: 800**4444xxx333 The properly formatted number is (800) 444-4333

Explanation / Answer

Here goes the solution code for the above question

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <cstring>
#include <string>
#include <cmath>
#include <ostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{

cout << "Enter a character string phone number (###.aaa.aaaa):" << endl;

string phoneChar;
getline(cin, phoneChar);

char characters[14];
characters[0]='(';
characters[4]=')';
characters[5]=' ';
characters[9]='-';

int length=phoneChar.size();
    int j=1;
    for(int i=0; i < length; i++)
    {
        switch (phoneChar[i])
           {
           case '1':
           characters[j]='1';
           j++;
           break;
           case '2':
           characters[j]='2';
           j++;
           break;
           case '3':
           characters[j]='3';
           j++;
           break;
           case '4':
           characters[j]='4';
           j++;
           break;
           case '5':
           characters[j]='5';
           j++;
           break;
           case '6':
           characters[j]='6';
           j++;
           break;
           case '7':
           characters[j]='7';
           j++;
           break;
           case '8':
           characters[j]='8';
           j++;
           break;
           case '9':
            characters[j]='9';
           j++;
           break;
           case '0':
           characters[j]='0';
            j++;
            break;
           default:
           break;
           }
           while(j==0 ||j==4||j==5||j==9){
                j++;
           }
           if(j==14)
                break;
    }
    cout<<"phone number is: ";
    for(int k=0;k<14;k++){
        cout<<characters[k];
    }
return 0;
}

Example:

817-555-1234 gives you (817) 555-1234

817-555-1234 x26 gives you (817) 555-1234
