// Using memcpy()

#include <stdio.h>

#include <string.h>

int main(void)

{

char s1[50], s2[] = "Copying this string into s1";

memcpy(s1, s2, 50);

printf(" Using memcpy()\n");

printf(" --------------\n");

printf("s1[50] = %s\n", s1);

printf("s2[] = %s\n", s2);

printf("\nAfter s2 is copied into s1 with memcpy(),\n");

printf("using memcpy(s1, s2, 50)\n");

printf("\ns1 contains \"%s\"\n", s1);

return 0;

}

Output example:

Using memcpy()

--------------

s1[50] = Copying this string into s1

s2[] = Copying this string into s1

After s2 is copied into s1 with memcpy(),

using memcpy(s1, s2, 50)

s1 contains "Copying this string into s1"
