String Library Functions - A few questions

Hi everyone, I have a NEW question

I am learning about strings and I don't understand what some string functions are...

strcpy()
strcat()
strcmp() and
strlen()

"C++ Beginner's Guide by Herbert Schildt" explained what the functions do but I am still confused. I read the functions many times and looked up examples...

If you can explain what each of them are and do, I would be grateful.

Thanks in advance!

This is discussed at my college's website. Hopefully it would be useful:

That is a good resource xboxrulz, thanks for sharing it with us.

To the OP, perhaps if you let us know where it is that you are losing comprehension we can assist you better.

I suppose that you already know that you use
strcpy() for copying a string from somewhere to somewhere else in your program
strcat() for displaying a string
strcmp() for comparing two strings.
strlen() for knowing the size of a string.

In addition to these functions.
There are other set of functions do the same thing but add one more parameter.

They are strncpy(), strncat() and strncmp()

It will allowed control how many chars to copy.

  3. Programing Windows Joystick
    Questions about windows joystick code (2)
    I have 2 joystick related questions. The first is, does anyone know if there is a driver that will
    allow me to use my joystick (actually 12button/3axis gamepad) to control my mouse pointer in
    windows95? I have one program that will allow me to do that (very indirectly) using windows
    accessability & the program that camewith my joystick. But it is exceedingly slow, because it uses 2
    forms of redirection. First it translates joystick movements to key presses (slow), then I use the
    windows accessability to translate that to mouse movements. But that is so slow, it's pr....

    Hi, I am currently working on a project that requires plotting a large number of points on a

    was wondering if there is any graphic or chart library that you guys know of that can plot a huge
    number of data points at a relatively small period of time. Of course, other additional features are
