c - Modifying String Literal

Question

This question already has answers here:

Answer 1

"C++" is a string literal stored in read only location and hence cannot be modified. With this -

char* t="C++"; // t is pointing to a string literal stored in read only location

Instead, you should have -

char t[] = "C++" ;  // Copying the string literal to array t

to actually do -

t[1] = 'p' ;
