Finally I have a valid reason to learn about memory management. It was also hella weird when encountering it.

    Without getting too critical of your code (congrats BTW), never use strcpy instead use strlcpy.

    strcpy will happily allow you to create buffer overflows (a common challenge with C) which will cause your application to crash.

    You’ll find more details here.

    Good luck!

      Thanks, I did not knew this. I always appreciate constructive criticism. I am quite new to C so theres a shit ton of stuff I have never done or dont even know about.

      And understand when you can use them…

      I’ve seen too much code following this advice blindly that just does something like

      strncpy(dst, src, strlen(src))
