How to copy a string using a pointer

Question

Here\'s a program I wrote to copy a string constant.

When the program is run it crashes. Why is this happening ?

#include 

char *alph         


        

Answer 1

You can directly do the below code:

char *alpha = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
char *l = alpha;

If your code was below:

const char *alpha = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
const char *l = alpha;
