C programming

The program needs to protect against integer overflow.

* * 1. Detect when an overflow occurred.

* 2. If an overflow occurs, discard the current string * and copy (not append) the new string to buffer.

/* * The purpose of this program is to allow a user to continually * append text to a string, until CTRL-C is entered. * * Example Output: * * Hit CTRL-C to Exit. * * Input -> abc * Output -> 3 {abc} * Input -> def * Output -> 6 {abcdef} * Input -> ^C * Output -> 6 {abcdef} * * The program needs to protect against integer overflow. * * 1.
