Replacing character in a string [duplicate]

Answer 1

It is necessary to declare a second char array. In below code it just copies content of array s to s1 when condition fails.

#include 
#include 
int main(void)
{
  char s[20] = "aaabaa";
  char s1[1024];
  int i, j, n;
  for (i=0, n = 0; s[i]!= '\0'; i++)
  {
    if (s[i] == 'b')
    {
        for (j=0; j<5; j++)
        {
            s1[n] = 'c';
            n++;
        }
    }
    else
    {
        s1[n] = s[i];
        n++;
    }
}
s1[n] = '\0';
printf("%s\n", s1);
}
