How do I concatenate const/literal strings in C?

Question

I\'m working in C, and I have to concatenate a few things.

Right now I have this:

message = strcat(\"TEXT \", var);

message2 = strcat(strcat(\"TEXT          


        

Answer 1

This was my solution

#include 
#include 

char *strconcat(int num_args, ...) {
    int strsize = 0;
    va_list ap;
    va_start(ap, num_args);
    for (int i = 0; i < num_args; i++) 
        strsize += strlen(va_arg(ap, char*));

    char *res = malloc(strsize+1);
    strsize = 0;
    va_start(ap, num_args);
    for (int i = 0; i < num_args; i++) {
        char *s = va_arg(ap, char*);
        strcpy(res+strsize, s);
        strsize += strlen(s);
    }
    va_end(ap);
    res[strsize] = '\0';

    return res;
}

but you need to specify how many strings you're going to concatenate

char *str = strconcat(3, "testing ", "this ", "thing");
