\nPeople who arrive at C from other languages, possibly JavaScript or C# or Python, might notice that string functions seem a little less represented in C. Small wonder: after all, strings don’t even exist in C; rather, they’re character arrays. (Yet, ironically, the string functions in C are from <string.h>, its own self-titled library.)\n<\/p>\n
\nC string functions seem tuned to get a prefix of a string, but not the suffix. Yet, with a pointer, the suffix is easy from the prefix.\n<\/p>\n
Let’s imagine you have the string<\/p>\n
“She doesn’t believe in intermittent fasting because….”<\/p>\n
\nYou want, from it, to extract everything after “doesn’t”. Here’s how you might:<\/p>\n
\nchar sentence[]=”She doesn’t believe in intermittent fasting because….”;
The output, hopefully:<\/p>\n
believe in intermittent fasting because….<\/p>\n
