Maybe you'd tell him more about the magic :) char *mytext = "hello"; results in a pointer (which you may later on make pointing to a different location) that points to a static, read-only string containing "hello\0". However, if you need to change the text, you need to do it like this: char mytext[] = "hello"; Cf. section 6.4.5.6 of the C99 standard.
