Question

I\'m beginning to code in C. My code is as follows:

#include 
#include 
#include 

#define MAX_STR_LEN 256
#de         


        

Answer 1

The reason is that in something like

books[i].name = tmp;

You're not actually copying a string from tmp into books[i].name: you just make both point to the same location - somewhere into the buf buffer.

Try using strdup instead, as in:

books[i].name = strdup(tmp);
