Thread: An interesting question about strcat

Why the following code prints "Huh?" ?
It seems that 0xFF is never appended to the list by strcat?

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

const char * const eof = "\0xFF";
char list[2000] = {0};

void append (const char * flower)
{
    strcat (list, flower);
    strcat (list, eof);
}
int main()
{
    const char *next;
    append("Calla Lily");
    append("Daisy");
    append("Tulip");
    next = strchr(list, 0xFF);
    if (!next) printf ("Huh?\n");
}
