    Question Help on toupper string

    Hi,
    Here is my code :
    #include <string>
    #include <ctype.h>
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;

    int main()
    {
    int i,j,k;
    char *string = "hello.my name is Joe. what is your name?";

    // length = strlen(string);
    for (i = 0; i < 1; i++)
    {
    if ((string[i] >= 'a') && (string[i] <= 'z'))
    {
    string[i] = toupper(string[i]);
    }
    }

    for (j = 6; j < 7; j++)
    {
    if ((string[j] >= 'a') && (string[j] <= 'z'))
    {
    string[j] = toupper(string[j]);
    }
    }

    for (k = 22; k < 23; k++)
    {
    if ((string[k] >= 'a') && (string[k] <= 'z'))
    {
    string[k] = toupper(string[k]);
    }
    }
    cout<<"%s\n"<<string;
    //printf("%s\n",string);
    return 0;
    }

    This code works perfectly fine in Turbo C, but when i compile it through Visual C++, it does'nt gives any error, but when i execute the program , the output is not shown , n message appers ... "This program has caused an error , it will close "
    Can anybody help me fix this problem.
    Thanxs.

    you not allowed to write code like

    Code:
    char* s = "Hello World!\n";
    
    s[4] = '3';
    As s is read only, and modifing s is undefined, so do something like

    Code:
    char s[] = "Hello World!\n";
    char* p = s;
    while(*p != '\0') {
           *p = toupper(*p);
            ++p;
    }

    You don't need to check if it's upper case when you call toupper as
    it's going to leave it unchanged.
