Help me figure this question

Mar 26th, 2008

Q. Write a function Stars() whose input are an array of characters(a), the size of the array(n), and a character(ch). This function should replace all occurrences of ch in the array, a, with a star(*), and return the number of times the replacement was made.

So far I have the function prototype

I'm here to prove you wrong.
