Why does strcpy trigger an error?

Question

The program works fine if the string is not copied using strcpy, but I would like to know the reason why ?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main ()
{

    int mat;
    char test1[20]={"Hex"} ;
    char test2[20]={"agonal"} ;

    strcpy(test1,"Diagonal"); // the print outputs the concatenated test if strcpy is commented out

    //printf("a=%c\nb=%c\n",test1[0],test1[1]);

    printf("Concatenated test=%s", strcat(test1, test2));

    return 0;
}

Answer 1

The strcat call is the one failing. You don't have enough space in test1 to store the concatenation of "Diagonal" and "agonal".

If you make test1 big enough, it should work:

char test1[40]={"Hex"} ;
