Solution

To solve this problem, we can follow these steps:

  1. Read the number of test cases from the input.
  2. Iterate over each test case.
  3. Read the input string for the current test case.
  4. Initialize a variable first_char with the first character of the input string.
  5. Initialize an empty string result to store the modified string.
  6. Iterate over each character in the input string.
  7. If the current character is equal to first_char and it is not the first occurrence, replace it with '$' and append it to result.
  8. If the current character is not equal to first_char or it is the first occurrence, append it to result as it is.
  9. Print the result string as the output for the current test case.
  10. Repeat steps 3-9 for each test case.

Here is the code in Python:

# Step 1
num_test_cases = int(input())

# Step 2
for _ in range(num_test_cases):
    # Step 3
    input_string = input()
    
    # Step 4
    first_char = input_string[0]
    
    # Step 5
    result = ""
    
    # Step 6
    for i, char in enumerate(input_string):
        # Step 7
        if char == first_char and i != 0:
            result += "$"
        # Step 8
        else:
            result += char
    
    # Step 9
    print(result)

This program takes the number of test cases as input, followed by the input strings for each test case. It then modifies each input string according to the given condition and prints the modified strings as the output.

Description:Imagine you're developing a text processing tool that facilitates replacing specific characters in a primary string. Your task is to write a program that accomplishes this efficiently.Input:The first line should prompt the user to enter the primary string ('PS').The second line should ask for the character to be replaced ('c').The third line should request the replacement string ('s').Output:Display the resulting string after replacing each occurrence of 'c' with 's'.
