I need help with this problem. I have written the code. The function main() stores the message in an array. What I need to figure out is how to have the function restaurant accept the message as an argument(which is named menu) and display the message using pointer notation *(menu+i) and also again with the *menu notation.
Should I use this or something similar ? ptr[0] = ptr[10]
Should I use this or something similar ? ptr[0] = ptr[10]
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int restaurant(char*);
int main() {
char message[17] = { 'W', 'h', 'a', 't', 's', ' ', 'f', 'o', 'r',
' ', 'l', 'u', 'n', 'c', 'h', '?', '\0' };
int i, *mPtr;
restaurant(message);
return 0;
}
int restaurant(char* menu) {
return 0;
}

I see that your function is empty. What have you tried so far?

this is what I have come up with so far, I dont think its working just yet though
int restaurant(char* menu)
{
int i;
char strcpy(char menu[], char message[]);
{
int i = 0;
while (menu[i] != '\0')
{
menu[i] = message[i];
i++;
}
menu[i] = '\0';
return menu;

Basically, I am trying to copy the "message" to the "menu" and then display using the
*(menu+i) and *menu notation.
