Strcpy copies bytes until it finds a 0-byte in the source. That is copied to the destination, and then strcpy returns. (If the destination isn't big enough to hold the source including the 0-terminator, the behaviour is undefined, but unless you get a segmentation fault, that is what in practice you can rely on happening.).
The size of "abcdefghijklmnop" is 16 and the size of your a array is 16 it should be 17 (16 + 1 null terminator charachter).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
