Use the strcat() function. See the documentation at the link below.

Answer 2

C has a header file for handling strings which allows people to manipulate and use strings, it has many useful string handling functions, to use it just use #include <string.h>.
There are two functions in C called strcat and strcpy in the string header file this is an example of what you need to do.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(void)
{
char destination[3];
char *a= "a";
char *b = "b";
strcpy(destination,a);
strcat(destination, b);
printf("%s\n", destination);
system ("pause");
return 0;
}

Answer 3

char aa='a';
char bb='b';
char string[3];
string[0]=aa;
string[1]=bb;
string[2]='\0';
printf("%s\n", string);

This will print "ab".

Answer 4

void main()
{
char p='a';
char q='b';
char ch[3];
ch=strcat(p,q);
ch=strcat(ch,'\n');
printf("string is = %s ",ch);
getch();
}
