int main()
{
    static char str1[] = "dills";
    static char str2[20];
    static char str3[] = "Daffo";
    int i;
    i = strcmp(strcat(str3, strcpy(str2, str1)), "Daffodills");
    printf("%d\n", i);
    return 0;
}

@Suryash.

If we compare the strings the value should return to 0...(Not 1).
Because, if s1 = s2 value would return 0.
If s1<s2 value would be less than 0.
If s1>s2 value would be greater than 0.

Str1=dills.
Strcpy(str2,str1) it gives str2 = dills.
Strcat(str3,str2) gives str3 = daffodills
Strcmp(str3,"daffodils")= it gives 0, in string comparison if condition is true it will return 0 else 1.

You all please run this code. It will give some negative result cause static char str3[] = "Daffo";memory is fixed. So this concatination is not possible. Target string should have enough memory.

static is used just to confuse the students, it dosen't make any difference. static is a type of storage classs.

Will str3 array can store dills also?? I think not as its size is just 6 byte.
So I dont agree with answer...!!!

I agree with @Goutham's answer, but yet I didn't understood what is the role of static char in this programme?

Don't pass the value.In a comparing two string return the value 0 if string are equal other wise return 1...

strings are immutable and of reference type, that's y this copy in str3 is allowed.

First it will copy str1 value to str2, then it will concatenate, and then compare.

Suyash said:   6 years ago
If the string is the same it should return 1 not 0?

Please explain to me.
