Function Name: alterStrInput:   (char) A vector of lowercase letters containing three words separated by spaces. The last word contains an odd number of characters. The vector of chars contains only lowercase letters and the two spaces that separate the words. Output:   (char) A vector of chars containing three altered “words”. This vector of chars contains only letters and the two spaces that separate the words.Description: Write a function called alterStr that alters the given vector of chars in the following way.    1. The characters in the first word are reversed.    2. All vowels (‘a’, ‘e’, ‘i’, ‘o’, and ‘u’) are removed from the second word    3. The middle character in the third word is changed to uppercase. The output is a vector of characters that contains the altered words separated by spaces. Notes:• A word is a group of adjacent characters either preceded and/or followed by a space.• There will be no spaces at the beginning or at the end of the input string.• Each group of adjacent characters will be separated by only one space. Examples: >> str = ‘two four three’>> a = alterStr(str)a = ‘owt fr thRee’>> str = ‘inky pinky clyde’>> a = alterStr(str)a = ‘ykni pnky clYde’ >> str = ‘larry curly moe’>> a = alterStr(str)a = ‘yrral crly mOe’
