There are 2 more things i would like to know . 1)What is wrong in my answer 2)If find function cannot find the answer then what value does it return

@imsharan0105

  1. You are checking if only the first character is same or not. What if the strings are like bbat bbatman.
  2. It returns a special value string::npos if substring is not found, else it returns the first index where its found. So you can use it like
if (s1.find(s2) != string::npos){
//this means s2 is present in s1
}
#6

i do check within the if condition by finding out the length of the smaller string and then forming a substring out of the bigger string with the same . Once i find out the substring then i compare it u can see that within the if condition , i suppose ,still there is some problem in execution

If you could help me find out the answer there it would be great

hi @imsharan0105 https://ide.codingblocks.com/s/297154
there was some input related issue, you will have to use cin.ignore() while using getline() function
else you can use cin also here
