what is error in this 2 lines of code in C....

[john2020]

hi all,

here's the code.....


char *p;
p="Hello";
cout<<p<<endl; // prints "Hello"
*p='M' ; // giving error


if i want to change the value at the first location ( *(p+0) ) to 'M' instead of 'H', what shud be done so that it prints "Mello";

i think as it is a string literal u cant change it,u declare it as a array and then u change it.so code is as follows:-

char p[] = "hello";
char *g = & p;
*(g + 0) = 'm';
printf("%s", p);


does anyone agree wit me?any suggestions are always welcome.
try it out,but the way u declared is wrong;take it in array and try it out u can.

Why don't you just do:

p(0)='M'

instead of

*p='M'

?

You ned to change it to: p[0] = 'M';
