string-manipulation

I was given an interview question:

// The first example:
char text[] = "henri";
char *p;
p = text;
*(p + 1) = 'E'; // Output = hEnri
// Now If we want to remove the "e" ie hnri, we would go for?????
     *(p + 1)=?????

The obvious answer is to copy the rest of the array "back" one position. But this seems... unpleasant. Surely there is some better way?

The following is 2 different definitions of the problem: How can I process 2 arrays so that I can keep the data of duplicate array[key] values. I have arrays A and B. I want to create array C with the children that their id/key values exist in both A and B arrays. Thank you >>> More

I'm going through a Fortran code, and one bit has me a little puzzled. There is a subroutine, say SUBROUTINE SSUB(X,...) REAL*8 X(0:N1,1:N2,0:N3-1),... ... RETURN END Which is called in another subroutine by: CALL SSUB(W(0,1,0,1),...) where W is a 'working array'. It appears that a specific… >>> More
