Property Value

Description
html markup
shown to student


Define a function <tt>strcpy()</tt> that takes a 'src' character array and
'dest' character array as input. <tt>src</tt> and <tt>dest</tt> are null-terminated character arrays (aka C-strings).
Note 1: the destination array should be the first argument, the source the second argument

Note 2: The formal argument of a function taking an array usually requires <tt>[]</tt> after the name (e.g. <tt>char src[]</tt>)
but C/C++ supports a second way to accept an array in the formal argument using the <tt>*</tt> (e.g. <tt>char *</tt>)

Template / Reference solution

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

// Copy the characters from the src array to the destination array.
// The arguments are passed as dest followed by src and both are
// character arrays (C-Strings).

void strcpy( \[ REDACTED ]\ dest, \[ REDACTED ]\ src ) {
\[
REDACTED
]\

}

int main()
{
char src1[12] = "hello world";
char src2[10] = "bye";
char src3[1] = "";
char dest[21] = "abcdefghijklmnopqrst";

strcpy(dest, src1);
cout << dest << endl;
strcpy(dest, src2);
cout << dest << endl;
strcpy(dest, src3);
cout << dest << endl;

return 0;
}

C++ test suite
json list of stdin/args tests
e.g. [{"stdin":"hi", "args":["4", "5"]}, {"stdin":"noargs"}]
to just run once with no input use [{}]
