This problem description would benefit from an example of the kind of input that could be expected (as well as the correct output).
Based on the description, I thought that I had to replace the string 'o'clock' with the string 'o''clock' (so making it usable in MATLAB.). And no, I did not manage to create input like that.
Instead, you want to replace every single quote with a double quote EXCEPT for the start-and-end quotes.
So 'o''clock' ==> 'o''''clock'
an example would make it clearer
I am not getting it .... Its always showing wrong
so weird!!!
I've found no matter how many '''' I add, it will only show one additional.
My answers are coming correct in MATLAB 2017b but not on this site.
This question need to be stated clearly with a sample example.
s1 is not a string, but a character array.
