Question

My head is getting bad trying to find a solution for this assignment because my ideas didn’t work…

I have to interlace two char strings using pointers. See the following example (this example is not code):

char s1 = "My House Black"
char s2 = "Are very near"

Result: "MAyr eH ovuesrey Bnleaacrk"

How can I do this?

Answer 1

Try:

int total = strlen(char1) + strlen(char2);
int i1 = 0, i2 = 0;
for(i = 0; i < total; i++)
{
    if(i % 2 == 0)
    {
        result[i] = char1[i1];
        i1++;
    }
    else
    {
        result[i] = char2[i2];
        i2++;
    }
}
