Trying to write the following function but confused, as get() only reads in the first character?

Write C-string's chars to the screen one char at a time. 

void writeString(const char*)

Rule:
cannot use [].

Hints:use put();

make use of '\0' – but don't write it out.

  • I think others have done this same homework. You should try searching for it. – crashmstr May 14 '14 at 19:10
  • Why are you worrying about `get` and reading in, when you're supposed to *write* and the hint says to use `put`? Both of those are the opposite of what you're asking. – molbdnilo May 14 '14 at 19:25

It sounds like you just need a simple loop to output the string. Something like this perhaps.

void writeString(const char* str)
{
    while(str++ != '\0') put(*str);
}

The while(str++ != '\0') will iterate over the string buffer pointed to by str and output each character. It also increments the str pointer to the next character and checks for null terminator ('\0').
