1. Please consider the following piece of code=0D

#include <stdio.h>=0D
#include <string.h>=0D
=2E..=0D
int main()=0D
{=0D
char *vect[100];=0D
=0D
=2E..=0D
/* line x */ vect[3]=3D"text";=0D
=2E..=0D
/* line y */ strcpy(vect[3], "text");=0D
=2E..=0D
}=0D

2. Both commands in lines x and y don=B4t gererate any compilation errors=
;=0D

3. The command in line x works fine;=0D

4. Why the command in line y generates an execution error interrupting th=
e=0D
execution of=0D
the program?=0D

=3D=3D> What you did is similar to:=0D
=0D
const char *p=3D"text";=0D
=0D
strcpy(p, "text");=0D
