wcscpy() function in C++ with Examples

The wcscpy() function is defined in cwchar.h header file. The wcscpy() function is used to copy a wide character string from source to destination.

Syntax:

wchar_t *wcscpy(wchar_t *dest, const wchar_t *src);

Parameters: This method accepts the following two parameters:

• dest: specifies the pointer to the destination array.
• src: specifies the pointer to the source array.

Return Value: The wcscpy() function returns the modified destination.

Below program illustrate the above function:-

Example:-

// C++ program to demonstrate
// example of wcscpy() function.

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

int main()
{

    // maximum length of the destination string
    wchar_t dest[40];

     // initialize the source string
    wchar_t src[]=L"A computer science portal for geeks";

// Print the source string
    wcout << L"Source: " << src << endl;

// Print the destination string
    wcout << L"Destination: " << dest << endl;

// Copy source to destination
    wcscpy(dest, src);

// Print the modified destination
    wcout << L"After modification, destination: " << dest;

    return 0;
}

Output:

Source: A computer science portal for geeks
Destination: 
After modification, destination: A computer science portal for geeks
