The library function used to find the last occurrence of a character in a string is

Correct Answer: strrchr()

Explanation:

Declaration: char *strrchr(const char *s, int c);


It scans a string s in the reverse direction, looking for a specific character c.


Example:



#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
   char text[] = "I learn through CuriousTab.com";
   char *ptr, c = 'i';

   ptr = strrchr(text, c);
   if (ptr)
      printf("The position of '%c' is: %d\n", c, ptr-text);
   else
      printf("The character was not found\n");
   return 0;
}


Output:


The position of 'i' is: 19
