Appending strings in C

Question

How do I combine multiple strings. For example,

char item[32];
scanf(\"%s\", item);
printf(\"Shopping list: %s\\n\", item); //I want to combine this string          


        

Answer 1

use strcpy and strcat

char item[] = "Shopping list";
char hw[] = "To do list: Sleep \n";
char* itemhw;
itemhw = malloc(strlen(item)+strlen(hw)+1);
strcpy(itemhw, item);
strcat(itemhw, hw); 
free(itemhw);
