C++

Question

could someone tell me what is the meaning of (strcpy) and what is its function?

Answer 1

char * strcpy ( char * destination, const char * source );

it's function is to copy the string
Copies the C string pointed by source into the array pointed by destination, including the terminating null character (and stopping at that point).

To avoid overflows, the size of the array pointed by destinationshall be long enough to contain the same C string as source(including the terminating null character), and should not overlap in memory with source.ex:-

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main () {
char str1[]="Sample string";
char str2[40];
char str3[40];
strcpy (str2,str1);
strcpy (str3,"copy successful");
printf ("str1: %s\nstr2: %s\nstr3: %s\n",str1,str2,str3);
return 0; }
