String Copy Functions
Coders, programmers and all the rookies who are new to programming always use string copy functions.As the name suggests, these are standard library functions which copies one string into other.Here we'll discuss two standard functions:- strcpy() : which copies the whole string into another
- strncpy() : which copies a part of one string into another
Syntax
The first function takes 2 arguments:
strcpy(char *target, char *source) ;
The second function takes 3 arguments:
strncpy(char *target, char *source, int n) ;
Here "n" represents the number of characters which are to be copied into another string
Working Example
#include
#include
int main()
{
int n ;
char source[25], target[25] ;
strcpy(source, "fetch-info.blogspot.com") ;
strncpy(target, source, 10) ;
printf("Source String: %s\n", source) ;
printf("Target String: %s",target) ;
return 0 ;
}
Source String: fetch-info.blogspot.com
Target String: fetch-info
