Answer / avinash

In this question ,two wrong thins ----
1.this is an array of char pointer so use
strcy(text[no.],"Hello World");

2.
we are copying a string without allocating memory to pointer . This is bug code .

correct solution :----

char *string()
{
char *text[20];
text[0]=malloc(20*sizeof (char));
strcpy(text,"Hello world");
return text;
}

Answer / vignesh1988i

as for as i know , there is only one error..... you have
declared text as array of pointers and not as character data
array..... so this text can only accept addresses.... :)

char *text[20] means you are going to store 20 addresses in
this array..... When you store addresses using arrays , the
that is called array of pointers....

if u declare : char text[20] , this will work correctly..



thank u

Write a C program that defines a 2-dimentional integer array called A [50][50]. Then the elements of this array should randomly be initialized either to 1 or 0. The program should then print out all the elements in the diagonal (i.e. a[0][0], a[1][1],a[2][2], a[3][3], ……..a[49][49]). Finally, print out how many zeros and ones in the diagonal.

You are given a string which contains some special characters. You also have set of special characters. You are given other string (call it as pattern string). Your job is to write a program to replace each special characters in given string by pattern string. You are not allowed to create new resulting string. You need to allocate some new memory to given existing string but constraint is you can only allocate memory one time. Allocate memory exactly what you need not more not less.
