Write a function that copies a string into another.

Question

How do I Write a function that copies a string into another. The destination string will already have enough memory to copy the source string.
It must work the same way as strcpy(3)

It must be prototyped as follows:

char *my_strcpy(char *dest, const char *src);

The function returns dest.

Answer 1

You have to consider what a C string is: a sequence of characters ending with a terminating-zero character ('\0').

So copying it from the source to the destination is as simple as copying all the characters one by one from the beginning of the source until the terminating-zero character is found (it should be copied as well).

Based on this, you should be able to write the implementation. When ready, post it for a review. ;)
