Does not work strcpy() function. -> incompatible implicit declaration of strcpy......

I have a problem with the strcpy function. i think that we use it like this but there is a mistake...why?

Is this wrong?

Code:

---

strcpy(new_buf, old_buf);

---

if i want to put the old_buf="hi_my_old_man" into the new_buf which is empty in the beginning.

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(void)
{
        int choice;
        char buf[40];
                printf("Before strcpy: %s\n", buf);
                strcpy(buf,"This is the end my friend");
                printf("After: %s\n", buf);
        return 0;
}

It's not empty, it has random crap in it. But your actual problem is that you haven't included string.h.
