Question

Write a C++ function that receives a string of characters (It can be a C-string or a string type of parameter. The function will make a copy of the string it receives and removes all the blank spaces in the copy, then the function returns the copy. You will be required to submit a .cpp file that contains the function we were talking about as well as a main() function which contains the code that are testing above function.

Hint:

the header of this function should be somehow looks like following: char *removeBlank(char a[ ]) or string *removeBlank(string a) The function should not have more than one argument.
It can be a challenge to remove a blank space in a character array. If you can't do it, you may check out the video "Remove a blanks", hope it helps.
No change should be made on the original string, which is the one the function receives.
If you still don't have a clue of how to get started on this assignment, you may follow following steps:
1. In the function, find the length of the string the function receives
2. Use "new" statement to create an array of characters (a C-string)
3. Copy each character in the string the function receives to the array created in step 2
4. Remove the blanks in the array
5. Return the pointer you used in the step 2

From the "remove a blanks" video:

1. Find the index of the first blank space
2. Using a loop statement to move all the
characters on the right side of the this
blank space (include the end of string
character \0) to the left by one place
a[index]=a[index+1];
a[index+1]=a[index+2];
a[index+2]=a[index+3];

int i=0, index=0;
while(a[i]!='\0'){

index=i;
int j=index;
while(a[j]!= '\0'){
a[j]=a[j+1];
j++;
}
