Question

Can I do

write(&'\n', 1); 

and is it equivalent to

char a = '\n';
write(&a, 1);

How would you solve this in a fashion way?

I’m tring to write the new-line caracter with a function that only take char array as first argument, and its dimension in second argument (dimension has to be specified because \0 is a valid writable character)

Answer 1

As others already pointed out, you cannot take the address of a character literal.

And even if you could, it would be the wrong type, because a character array usually must be zero-terminated.

What you are looking for is:

write(“\n”, 1);
