Remove First and Last Characters

Write a C++ program to create a new string without the first and last characters of a given string of length at least two.

Sample Solution:

C++ Code :

#include <iostream> // Including the input/output stream library

using namespace std; // Using the standard namespace

// Function definition to process the input string and return a substring
string test(string s1) // Function named 'test' taking a string parameter 's1'
{
    return s1.substr(1) // Extract a substring from index 1 to the end of the string 's1'
           .substr(0, s1.length() - 2); // Further, extract a substring from index 0 up to the length of 's1' - 2
}

// Main function - entry point of the program
int main() 
{
    cout << test("Hello") << endl; // Display the result of calling 'test' function with the string "Hello"
    cout << test("Hi") << endl; // Display the result of calling 'test' function with the string "Hi"
    cout << test("Python") << endl; // Display the result of calling 'test' function with the string "Python"
    return 0; // Indicate successful completion of the program
}

Previous: Write a C++ program to create a new string of the first half of a given string of even length.
Next: Write a C++ program to create a new string from two given string one is shorter and another is longer. The format of the new string will be long string + short string + long string.
