so what am i doing wrong here?
#include
#include
int main()
{
const char* c = "this is a long string that has a bunch of stuff inside of it";
char* e;
int len;
int i;
len = strlen(c);
for (e = (char*)c; i < len; e++) {
printf("%s", e);
i++;
}
return 0;
}
What the hell are you trying to do
print out each char in c variable. it works but it prints out way too much shit.
'i' is uninitialised. Also, you're weirdly mixing two different ways of iterating over a string.
You don't need i at all.
Read a book, are you trying to print the string one character forward untill the string runs out?
Hello
ello
llo
lo

e is a pointer.
try dereferencing it
no. i want to print each char in the string.
Print with "%c" not "%s" for a start in that case
instead of "%s", use "%c".
You need to null terminate your string. This piece of shit grandpa language requires it otherwise you get undefined behaviour. Also make a string wrapper struct that has string length built in. Fuck it is sad people still make these mistakes but I guess C is C.
