copies string source to string target. This is pointer based version: - C String

Description

copies string source to string target. This is pointer based version:

void strcpy(char *target, char *source)
{
  while((*target = *source) != '\0'){
    target++;
    source++;
  }
}

Demo Code

/* Count spaces */
#include <stdio.h>

void strcpy(char *target, char *source)
{
   while ((*target = *source) != '\0') {
      target++;/*from   w  w w.  j a v  a2 s.  c o m*/
      source++;
   }
}

int main(void)
{
   char *str = "this is a  test";
   char s[80];

   strcpy(s, str);

   puts(s);

   return 0;
}
