I want to know some of the situations , when to use memcpy() and when
to memset();
Can't you tell from their descriptions?
memcpy( void *s1, const void *s2, size_t n );
... copies n characters from the object pointed to by s2
into the object pointed to by s1. If copying takes place
between objects that overlap, the behaviour is undefined.
memset( void *s, int c, size_t n );
... copies the value of c (converted to an unsigned char)
into each of the first n characters of the object pointed
to by s.
Use whichever one fits your situation.
