[C] Help with Strings

[techking_dinesh]

Hello I need to do a menu driven programme on strings
without using the library functions like strcpy and stuff

I need to do the programme in 2 modes..
1.Using functions
2. using pointers

I am almost Done with part I... I am not able to code string compare , Palindrome and Sub String

I am hopeless with 2nd part of pointers

Help me as much as u can

Here is my code

// Assignment 2 Coded By Dinesh Modi

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void create_set(char a[100],int size1);
void print_set(char a[100],int size1);
void copy_set(char a[100],int size1,char c[100]);
void reverse_set(char a[100],int size1,char c[100]);
//void stringcmp(char a[100], char b[100]);

void main()

{
    char a[100],b[100],c[100];
    int i,size1,size2,j,ch;

            break;

case 2:
    printf("\n\n String is: \n");
print_set(a,size1);
    printf("\n\n String is: \n");

break;

case 3: // Copy String
copy_set(a,size1,c);

Re: Help with Strings in C

in ur case pointer function is of no use:

void fun1(char a[]) == void fun1(char *a)

u must return value for string compare

Re: Help with Strings in C

Well we are learning C.. Our Assignment is

Menu
1. Without Pointer
2. With Pointer

On pressing 1, d string menu appears where everything is calculated without pointers
& on 2 , d same menu appears bt the calculations are done with pointers

Use of library functions is not allowed

Re: Help with Strings in C

u need to know what r pointers... seriously!

study the pages as given in the series from 1 to 4 (a bit of an overload but necessary)

1.Everything you need to know about pointers in C
2.Arrays and Pointers
3.*www.eskimo.com/~scs/cclass/int/sx5.html
4.Returning an array from a fuction - C and C++ - Forums at ProgrammersHeaven.com
