joining trings without strcat()

I need to make this program add the characters in source to the end of the string destination. the function assumes that there is enough room in destination to store the additional characters. I dont want to use srtcat().

Can anyone help me with this please.
Here is my program so far:


#include <stdio.h>


void join (char* destination, char* source) {

/* My code goes here. */
}


int main () {

char quick_fox [100] = "The quick brown fox";
char jumps_over [100] = " jumps over the lazy dog.";

printf("Joining \"%s\" to \"%s\"\n", quick_fox, jumps_over);
join(quick_fox, jumps_over);
printf("gives \"%s\"\n", quick_fox);
}

did strcat() victimize you when you were a child?

Tada, without strcat:

Code:

---

void join (char* destination, char* source)
{
    strcpy(destination+strlen(destination), source);
}

>Here is my program so far:
You have everything but the function you need. Is this because everything but the function you need was given to you to begin with? :rolleyes:

Here is a freebie:

Code:

---

void join ( char *dst, const char *src )
{
  char *end;
  /* No body */
  for ( end = dst; *end != '\0'; end++ );
  /* No body */
  while ( ( *end++ = *src++ ) != '\0' );
}

Beware turning in other people's code for homework though, teachers can usually tell if it is not yours. :)
