Example

//Uses header file cstring or string.h:

void string_copy(char target[], const char source[], int target_size)

{

using namespace std;

int new_length = strlen(source);

if (new_length > (target_size - 1))

new_length = target_size - 1; //That is all that will fit.

int index;

for (index = 0; index < new_length; index++)

target[index] = source[index];

target[index] = '\0';

}
