Question:What is the difference between a string copy (strcpy) and a memory copy (memcpy)? When should each be used??

Answer: </I>The strcpy() function is designed to work exclusively with strings. It copies each byte of the source string to the destination string and stops when the terminating <I>null character </I>(�) has been moved. On the other hand, the memcpy() function is designed to work with any type of data. Because not all data ends with a null character, you must provide the memcpy() function with the number of bytes you want to copy from the source to the destination. &nbsp;
