'strncpy' vs. 'sprintf'

Question

I can see many sprintf\'s used in my applications for copying a string.

I have a character array:

char myarray[10];
const char *str = \"myst         


        

Answer 1

I would not use sprintf just to copy a string. It's overkill, and someone who reads that code would certainly stop and wonder why I did that, and if they (or I) are missing something.
