C programming

Write a function called string in() that takes two string pointers as arguments. If the second string is contained in the first string, have the function return the address at which the contained string begins. For instance, string in(“hats”, “at”) would return the address of the a in hats. Otherwise, have the function return the null pointer. Test the function in a complete program that uses a loop to provide input values for feeding to the function.

#include <stdio.h>
//function to return address if string2 is present in string 1
char* substring(char str1[],char str2[])
{
    char *start = NULL;

    while (str1[count1] != '\0')

Write a function that takes a C string as an input parameter and reverses the string.

The front pointer should initially reference the first character in the string, and the rear pointer should initially reference the last character in the string.

Write a function called alternate that takes two positive integers, n and m, as input arguments (the function does not have to check the format of the input) and returns one matrix as an output argument. Each element of the n-by-m output matrix for which the sum of its indices is even is 1. All other elements are zero. For example, here is an example run: >> alternate(4,5) ans = 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0...
