The library function used to find the last occurrence of a character in a string is
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Declaration: char *strrchr(const char *s, int c);
It scans a string s in the reverse direction, looking for a specific character c.
Example:
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
char text[] = "I learn through IndiaBIX.com";
char *ptr, c = 'i';
ptr = strrchr(text, c);
if (ptr)
printf("The position of '%c' is: %d\n", c, ptr-text);
else
printf("The character was not found\n");
return 0;
}
Output:
The position of 'i' is: 19

Explain the ptr-text clearly with the above example program please.

Meaning of ptr-text.
As you can write arr[5] as *(arr+5).
Suppose text pointer was at location 50 in memory and ptr was pointing at 55th location then ptr-text will give 5.

printf("The position of '%c' is: %d\n", c, ptr-text);
Here we have to print c that was integer type, but I didn't understand the ptr-text.What is the meaning of that ptr-text?
printf("%d",c);
If we used this statement in the place of 1st printf statement, than also we get c value.

"I learn through IndiaBIX.com";
String length=28 (calculate it with space and ."special symbol")
We know that array index start from "ZERO" then (0......27)
char *ptr, c = 'i';
ptr = strrchr(text, c);
Here char c='i';
And function strrchr() return the value of last character occuerence in string .
Now the function match 'i' in the string and return the index value of 'i'. i.e. 19

Because the index value starts from 0 in c language...

Why is the position of 'i' 19 and not 20?

strstr() used to find the first occurrence.
strrstr() used to find the last occurrence.
strrstr() used to find the last occurrence.
