Question

3. (5 points) Consider the code below: #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> char* printOnce () { char *c = malloc (10); strncpy (c, "Amadeus!", 10); printf("%s\n", c); free(c); return c; } int main(int argc, char** argv) { char *c; c = printOnce(); printf("%s\n", c); //print again return 0; } This code prints the string twice most of the time. However, sometimes the program crashes. Why might this happen?

          3. (5 points) Consider the code below:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
char* printOnce ()
{
char *c = malloc (10);
strncpy (c, "Amadeus!", 10);
printf("%s\n", c);
free(c);
return c;
}
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
char *c;
c = printOnce();
printf("%s\n", c); //print again
return 0;
}
This code prints the string twice most of the time. However, sometimes the program
crashes. Why might this happen?
