Question

Write a C++ function named dup that makes a copy of a user input C-string and repeats the C-string. For example, if the user inputs "HelloWorld" then it will say "HelloWorldHelloWorld"

  • Dynamically allocate memory *(using new)* for a new C-string large enough to hold the result C-string. It should be the minimum size necessary to store the result C-string. Don't forget room for a null character!  

  • Put the result C-string into the newly allocated memoryIt must be a valid, NULL-terminated C-string.

  • Return a pointer to the result string.

The function can assume that parameter str points to a valid, NULL-terminated C-string. You can use cstring utility functions like strcpy(), strlen(), etc. if you wish, but you are not required to. Please demonstrate calling this function.  

Example: dup("Giants")should return a pointer to a newly-allocated, null-terminated C-string: "GiantsGiants"

char* dup(char *str)
