    Good evening 
     char chaine[] = "Hello!"; int iterateur=0; while(chaine[iterateur] != '\0') { //In C, the character \0 corresponds to the end of your string //Put your code here iterateur++; }


    Best regards,

      ```c Thank you MARCO
      Actually, I have a function "get_word" that should return the words from the string separated by a space


      Here’s what I’ve done: is this how you do it when the function returns a string type?
      Help pliz
      Thank you


      char * getword (char[50] line)
      {
      char word [50];
      for(int j=0, j< strlen(line); j++){
      if(substr(line, 1, i)=="")
      word =substr(line, 1, i);
      }
      return word
      } ```

      Hi,
      You don't need to complicate your life that much. If you're allowed to modify the input string, you can do this: 
       char * getword (char[50] chaine) { for(int j=0; j<strlen(chaine); j++){ if(chaine[j]==' ') chaine[j]=','; } return chaine; }


      On the other hand, if you're not allowed to modify it, I recommend creating a char* of the same size as your input string, going through the string character by character and copying each character into your new string one by one (except when you read a space, in which case you write a comma). It's better than using strcpy (which will go through your string), then going through it again to replace the spaces with commas.
