pointers

[sing0]

hi,
I need to build a function with a pointer .

void split(char *src, char c);

the function gets a string and a char and doing this:

char *src=“Big-Brother”, c='-';
split(src,c);

output:
B-i-g---B-r-o-t-h-e-r

can u give me ideas how to build it.?!

thank u !

Get rid of those non-C type double quotations around Big Brother, because C won't recognize them.

Use the key on your middle row, right hand side (QWERTY type keyboard).

Other than that, you need to sit down and try working at it. You've got enough info to get started, so get started.

If you get stuck, THEN post back. We're here to solve (or try to), problems with C programming, not problems with being lazy.

I'm not lazy I tried to that but I have a logical problem that I dont know how to solve
that what I did:

void split(char *src, char c)

{
	char string[LENTH];
	char temp=0;
	
	src = &string[0];
	
	
	while (*src != '\0')
    {
		src++;
		temp=*src;
		*src= c;
		src++;
		*src=temp;  

    } 
  
}

do you want to return a string or print it out?

[Adak]

From the name of the function, and your description and code, I'm not sure what you're trying to do in split().

I thought you wanted to "walk" through the string, and print it out, with a hyphen between each letter or space.

You shouldn't be trying to change *src, because it points to a string literal, and you can't change them (well, you shouldn't, even if your compiler allows it).

So what is split() trying to do?

You should always assign string literals to const char * instead of char *, because they cannot be modified. The ability to do otherwise is for backwards compatibility only.
