strcpy

Writing text without overflowing16

Objective

Write a function that copies the source string into the destination buffer.

Steps

Copy characters from src into dst in order.
Include the terminating null byte in the copy.
Return dst once the copy is complete.

examples

$ strcpy(dst, "hello")

dst contains `hello`

Constraints

Expected files

strcpy.c

Allowed functions

None. Write every helper yourself.

libc

Standard C library

Implements the contract of a function from the standard C library.

Tests

Run the tests to grade your code

Build

01"hello"

02Empty string

03"hello, world"

04"a"
