Copying Strings in C: A Step-by-Step Guide

To design a function to source string into destination string in C, we can use the following steps:

  1. Declare the function prototype. The function prototype should specify the name of the function, the return type, and the parameter types.
  2. Implement the function body. The function body should copy the characters from the source string to the destination string.
  3. Return the destination string from the function.

Sample function to source string into destination string in C:

C Programming
#include <string.h>

char *source_string_into_destination_string(char *destination_string, const char *source_string) {
  // Copy the characters from the source string to the destination string.
  strcpy(destination_string, source_string);

  // Return the destination string.
  return destination_string;
}

To use the function, we would first declare a destination string. Then, we would call the function, passing in the destination string and the source string as arguments. The function would copy the characters from the source string to the destination string and return the destination string.

 How to use the function:

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

int main() {
  // Declare a destination string.
  char destination_string[100];

  // Call the function to source string into destination string.
  char *result = source_string_into_destination_string(destination_string, "This is a test string.");

  // Print the destination string.
  printf("The destination string is: %s\n", destination_string);

  return 0;
}

Output:

 

The destination string is: This is a test string.
