Answer 1

Update: I'm attempting this solution: https://fresh2refresh.com/c-programming/c-strings/c-strchr-function/

Answer 2

Update:
```c
char fullName[60] = "Bob,Chen";
char lastName[30], firstName[30];
char *p;
p = strchr (fullName,',');
int position = p-fullName;
strncpy(firstName,fullName,position+1);
printf ("%s\n",firstName);
strcpy(lastName,p);
printf("%s\n",lastName);
```
Output: ```firstName is "Bob," and lastName is ",Chen"```
Now how do I get rid of the commas...

Answer 3

``` char fullName[60] = "Bob,Chen";
char lastName[30], firstName[30];
char *p;
p = strchr (fullName,',');
int position = p-fullName;
strncpy(firstName,fullName,position);
firstName[position] = 0;
printf ("%s\n",firstName);
strcpy(lastName,p+1);
printf("%s\n",lastName);
```
FINALLY WORKED LOL

Answer 4

```c
int main() {
char fullName[60] = "Bob,Chen";
char lastName[30], firstName[30];
char *p;
p = strchr(fullName,',');
int position = p-fullName;
strncpy(firstName,fullName,position);
printf ("%s\n",firstName);
strcpy(lastName,p+1);
printf("%s\n",lastName);
return 0;
}
```
Close, but the output of first name is garbled text.

Answer 5

Did we just do the same solution at the same time

Answer 6

That is creepy.....wow

Answer 7

except I had
firstName[position] = 0;
Otherwise firstName would be "Bob?" and that annoying question-mark in a diamond symbol

Answer 8

Answer 9
