I have a question about strcpy, i was wondering why did they make it work the way it works.
wouldnt it make more sense if it wasCode:char *strcpy(char *dest, const char *src);
I mean when we think of moving something, we always say from A to b, instead of b from A.Code:char *strcpy(char *src, const char *dest);
When no one helps you out. Call google();
maybe they did so, because in assembler the dest also stands on the left side?
Assignments are right-to-left as well.
a = 2;
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
It depends on which syntax you are using.Originally Posted by IceBall
Intel syntax is dest src
but AT&T syntax is src dest
Why is there a unary + operator?I have a question about strcpy, i was wondering why did they make it work the way it works.

Answers: Because the guys who wrote the language are mathematicians.
