THE *P DIES IN THE FUNCTION ITSELF AS WE ARE NOT RETURNING
THE STRING BACK IN THE MAIN PROGRAM

Answer / vijay
The out put is "BYE".
Because the pointer p dies when function exit with out
return,in main pointer p points to only "BYE",so prinf
prints which p points in main.

Answer / smirnov_amm
It will show "HELL"
the f function reserve only 4 bytes with the sizeof(6). it will return the sizeof (int) =4 bytes.
So you only allocate 4 bytes.
When performing the strcpy, you will corupt memory because you'll copy more than allocate.

Answer / yathish m yadav
the output is "hello".
here we are overwriting pointer *p thrice.
that is in the function we get an piece of memory from
malloc and assigned to p,
in the statement strcpy(p,"hello");
the malloc memory is lost and the compiler creates an char
array and copies the string "hello" and it makes the
character array as constant.

Answer / deepa
the outpu is hello coz the pointer is pointing to a
location where the string "bye" is written in the next
program yu are using the same pointer to point to some
other string so it gets overwritten

Answer / anu
the output wll be hello , since the argument is overwritten
with new memory in the function.
so in main, when it comes to printf, p points to the
allocatd memory, which contains hello
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 0 Yes | 3 No |
The output would be "HELLO"..
though we are not returning the string, we are making
direct changes at the memory location..
so "bye" will be overwritten with "HELLO"
because we are using pointers, the dying pointer scenario
is not applicabe here..
Its a pointer, not a variable..
This function will work similar to -> swapping two numbers
using pointers..
juss check that prog if you fnd somewhere.. :-)
you will get the logic... :-)

--By the way a gud ques.. :-)

Write the following function in C. stripos — Find position of first occurrence of a case- insensitive string int stripos ( char* haystack, char* needle, int offset ) Returns the numeric position of the first occurrence of needle in the haystack string. Note that the needle may be a string of one or more characters. If needle is not found, stripos() will return - 1. The function should not make use of any C library function calls.
