Some C questions were bugging me from quite some time. Any answers!
please share.

2.  Given 2 Strings char *str1 = "JHONSON";
                           char *str2 = "O";

what is the fastest way to remove all occurences of letter O
from str1.

str1[0] = '\0';

Bzzt - WRONG. str1 contains a pointer to a non-modifiable string (which may well reside in ROM). str1 itself contains no letter O. Thus the only way is:

  str1 = "JHNSN";

Things would be different if the original declaration was:

    char str1[] = "JHONSON";

which would have initialized a character array to a C string.
