First and Last n Characters from String

Write a C++ program to create a new string using the first and last n characters from a given string of length at least n.

Sample Solution:

C++ Code :

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

using namespace std; // Using the standard namespace

// Function that concatenates substrings based on the given indices
string test(string s1, int n)
{
    return s1.substr(0, n) + s1.substr(s1.length() - n); // Concatenate a substring from index 0 to n and a substring from length-n to the end of s1
}

// Main function
int main() 
{
    cout << test("Hello", 1) << endl;   // Output the result of test function with "Hello" and n=1
    cout << test("Python", 2) << endl;  // Output the result of test function with "Python" and n=2
    cout << test("on", 1) << endl;      // Output the result of test function with "on" and n=1
    cout << test("o", 1) << endl;       // Output the result of test function with "o" and n=1
    return 0;    // Return statement indicating successful termination of the program
}

Sample Output:

Ho
Pyon
