Hello all,
I'm trying to create a simple routine where I transform the individual characters of a character string to uppercase. I'm trying to figure out why I can dereference individual elements, but can't assign to them. I must be committing some fundamental mistake, but my book pretty much has the same logic I'm using. Any hints? Thanks in advance, as usual!
Code:#include<stdio.h> #include<ctype.h> #include<string.h> int main(void){ char *c = "hello!"; int i; for( i = 0; *(c+i) != '\0'; i++){ if(islower(*(c+i))){ *(c+i) = toupper(*(c+i)); //boom! Why? } } }
