strrchr() to find position of last occurrence of search character in a main string through pointer

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(void){
   char str[100]="Welcome to plus2net";
   char *p;
   p = strrchr(str,'e');
   printf("Position :%d",p-str+1);
   return 0;
}

The output of above code is here

Position :18

In above code, by subtracting the pointer of main character and by adding 1 to it , we will get the position of matching character related to main string.

As we get a pointer by using strrchr() , so we can display the character value so rest of the string starting from searched character will be returned.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(void){
   char str[100]="Welcome to plus2net";
   char *p;
   p = strrchr(str,'e');
   printf("Position :%d , %s",p-str+1,p);
   return 0;
}

Output is here

Position :18, et

We can search and get the pointer of last occurance of mathching character by using strrchr() string function.

strrchr(main_string, search_string);

Output is pointer of last occurrence of matching character. Returns null if searched character is not found.
