2. Which function will you use to set the first n number of characters in a string with the character provided?

strnset function is used for this purpose. Here is the syntax of this function:

char *strnset(char *str, char chr, size_t m);

3. An array is passed as a parameter to a function. Can you determine the size of this array using sizeOf?
