strcat() function:when you combine two strings, you add the characters of one string to the end of
other string. This process is called concatenation. The strcat() function joins 2 stringstogether. It takes the following form
strcat(string1,string2)
string1 string2 are character arrays. !hen the function strcat is e"ecuted string2 is
appended to string1. the string at string2 remains unchanged.
Example
strcpy(string1,”sri”);
strcpy(string2,”Bhagavan”);
Printf(“%s”,strcat(string1,string2);
#rom the abo$e program segment the $alue of string1 becomes sribhaga$an. The
string at str2 remains unchanged as bhagawan.

strcmp function:In c you cannot directly compare the $alue of 2 strings in a condition like
if(string1%%string2)&ost libraries howe$er contain the strcmp() function, which returns a 'ero if 2 strings
are eual, or a non 'ero number if the strings are not the same. The synta" of strcmp() is gi$en below
Strcmp(string1,string2)
*tring1 string2 may be string $ariables or string constants. *tring1, string2 may
be string $ariables or string constants some computers return a negati$e if thestring1 is alphabetically less than the second and a positi$e number if the string is
greater than the second.
Example:
strcmp(“Newyor”,”Newyor”) will return 'ero because 2 strings are eual.
strcmp(“their”,”there”) will return a + which is the numeric difference between
*-II i/ and *-II /r/.strcmp(“!he”, “the”) will return 02 which is the numeric difference between *-II
T *-II t.
strcmpi() functionThis function is same as strcmp() which compares 2 strings but not case sensiti$e.
Example
strcmpi(“!"#”,”the”); will return 3.
strcpy() function:- does not allow you to assign the characters to a string directly as in the statementname%4obert5
Instead use the strcpy(3 function found in most compilers the synta" of the functionis illustrated below.
strcpy(string1,string2);
*trcpy function assigns the contents of string2 to string1. string2 may be a character
array $ariable or a string constant.
strcpy(Name,”$oert”);
In the abo$e e"ample 4obert is assigned to the string called name.
strlwr () function:This function con$erts all characters in a string from uppercase to lowercase.

str&wr(string);
For example:
str&wr(“#'$S*S”) con$erts to 6"forsys.
#or e"ample str+pr(“eforsys”) will con$ert the string to 67#84*9*.
