Sequential Description

1. Main Function:

• Declare integer variables n and s, and a character array str to hold a string of up to 100 characters.
• Read an integer value into n which represents the number of strings to process.

      2. Loop Through Strings:

• Enter a while loop that iterates n times.
• Read a string into str.
• Calculate the length of the string and store it in s.
• Check if the length s is greater than 10.
• If true, output the first character of the string, followed by s - 2, followed by the last character of the string.
• If false, output the entire string as is.
• Output a newline after processing each string.

CODE

C++

#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    int n;
    char str[100];
    int s;
    cin >> n;
    while (n--)
    {
        cin >> str;
        s = strlen(str);
        if (s > 10)
        {
            cout << str[0] << s - 2 << str[s - 1];
        }
        else
        {
            cout << str;
        }
        cout << endl;
    }
    return 0;
}

C

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main() 
{
    int n;
    char str[100];
    int s;
    scanf("%d", &n);
    
    while (n--) 
    {
        scanf("%s", str);
        
        s = strlen(str);
        
        if (s > 10) 
        {
            printf("%c%d%c\n", str[0], s - 2, str[s - 1]);
        } 
        else 
        {
            printf("%s\n", str);
        }
    }
    
    return 0;
}

In this C version, we've replaced cin and cout with scanf and printf respectively to read and write values. The %s format specifier is used to read and print strings. The strlen function is used from the string.h library to get the length of the string.

Note

We highly recommend you to try hard yourself at first & then if you fail, you can only check the logic from our code. Don't Copy-Paste our code exactly .If you do this, your logic will not be improved/developed. So, try to realize the logic following our description.
