Predefine function of C in string.h library

Rajnish Tripathi 23:25

 In the string.h header file there are lots of function define which we can use directly we makes our work easy. Some important function are as follow:-

1. strlen() :-
                      strlen() is a predefine function which is declare in string.h . By using strlen() we can find the length of the string.
Syntax:-  strlen( string_name );                                            

Example:-
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
int main()
{
char s[]="EasyCodingZone";
int len;
len=strlen(s);
printf("Length of the string is %d",len);
return 0;
}


Output:-

Length of the string is 14


2) strcpy():-
                      By using strcpy function we can copy a string into another string. It copies the contents of source string to destination string. 
Syntax:-   strcpy(destination_string , source_string );                                  

Example:-
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
int main()
{
char s[]="EasyCodingZone" ;
char str[50];
strcpy(str,s);
printf("The source string is %s\n",s);
printf("The copy string is %s",str);
return 0;
}

Output:-

The source string is EasyCodingZone
The copy string is EasyCodingZone


3) strcmp():-
                     It compare the two strings .If both the string is equal then it return 0 otherwise return non-zero.
Syntax:-   strcpm(str1 , str2 );                               

Example:-
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
int main()
{
char s1[]="EasyCodingZone" ;
char s2[]="ZoneEasyCoding";
int ans;
ans=strcmp(s1,s2);
printf(" The value return by strcmp is %d",ans);
return 0;
}

Output:-
Since both the strings are not equal to it will return an non-zero value. 
The value return by strcmp is -21


4) strcat():-
                It concatenates the two strings . In this we pass two function and it concatenate the second argument to the first argument .
Syntax:-     strcat(str1 ,str2 );                                                                  

Example:-
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
int main()
{
char s1[100]="This is " ;
char s2[]="EasyCodingZone";
strcat(s1,s2);
printf("Final string is ' %s '",s1);
return 0;
}

Output:-
Final string is ' This is EasyCodingZone '
