Why does this code is not working ? because after replacing pi with 3.14 the length of string will obviously change for base case

#1

void replace_pi(string &s, int i) {

if (i == s.length() - 1) {
    return;
}

if (s[i] == 'p' and s[i + 1] == 'i') {
    string s = s.substr(0, i) + (string)"3.14" + s.substr(i + 2);


}

replace_pi(s, i + 1);

}

#2

hello

if this if statement will run then clearly at position i+1 ,i+2,i+3,i+4 will have string 3.14 right?

so u should call replace pi on index i+5 right?

if that if statement will not run then simply make a call on index i+1.

#3

sorry mai smjha niii…

#4

that i+5 will not male any difference… i+1 pe . hoga 3 ke aage wala aur wo pi toh hai nhi toh recursion will simply ignore that and code aage chlta jayega

#5

and i tried as you on i+5 also… the error is same… there is no differnce … kindly run this code and then check

#6

#7

if still it fails,the pls share ur complete code using cb ide
