void main()

{char astring[4];

astring = 'abc'; // will NOT compile

astring[0] = 'a';

astring[1] = 'b';

astring[2] = 'c';

}

We cannot copy a string as

follows: bstring = astring;

We have to use

#include <string.h>

where strcpy and strncpy are

defined.

strcpy(dest, source);

strcpy(bstring, astring); // copies string including /0

strncpy(dest, source, stringlength);

strcpy(bstring, astring,9); // If bstring is of length 10

bstring[9] = '/0'; may be explicitly added.
