SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on troubleshooting the "usrStr" and "userInput" functions in a C++ program. The user identifies an issue where the "OutputWithoutWhiteSpace(userInput)" function operates correctly but inadvertently adds extra characters to the output. Specifically, the user notes that the function returns a string that includes whitespace characters that should have been removed, leading to confusion in the output. The conversation emphasizes the need for proper function implementation to ensure accurate string manipulation.

I'm having trouble understanding how to use the "usrStr" or how to use the userInput in both of my functions. I know the problem with my code, i see that when i call the OutputWithoutWhiteSpace(userInput) function it works fine but it adds the extra characters

first sentence = 46 characters
then when i call the withoutspaces fuction it adds the whitespaces eliminated to the result
