strcpy() function in C Examples

strcpy() Function

The strcpy() function is used to copy strings. It copies string pointed to by source into the destination. This function accepts two arguments of type pointer to char or array of characters and returns a pointer to the first string i.e destination.

Note: source is preceded by the const modifier because strcpy() function is not allowed to change the source string.

C strncat syntax

  
 char *strcpy(char *s1, const char *s2);


Example 1:



Output:

 
 Second string is: aimtocode
 --------------------------------


Example 2:



Output:

 Enter first string (ch_arr_1): welcome to
 Enter second string(ch_arr_1): aimtocode

 Copying first string into second...

 First string (ch_arr_1) = welcome to
 Second string (ch_arr_2) = welcome to

 Copying "Greece" string into ch_arr1 ...


 Copying "Slovenia" string into ch_arr2 ...

 First string (ch_arr_1) = Greece
 Second string (ch_arr_2) = Slovenia

Functions Description
strcat( ) The strcat() function is used to concatenate one string(source) at the end of another string(destination).
strncat( ) Appends first n characters of a string at the end of another.
strcpy( ) Copies from str2 into str1
strncpy( ) Copies given number of characters of one string to another
strlen( ) Gives the length of str1
strcmp( ) Returns 0 if str1 is same as str2. Returns <0 if strl < str2. Returns >0 if str1 > str2
strcmpi( ) Same as strcmp() function. But, this function negotiates case. “A” and “a” are treated as same.

strrchr( ) last occurrence of given character in a string is found.
strstr( ) Returns pointer to first occurrence of str2 in str1
