char buf[10];
buf[9]='\0';
strcpy(buf,inStr);
cout<<"\n"<<buf<<"\n";
return;
}

Submit a 2- to 3-page paper in APA format that contains the original code fragment, a description of the coding flaw in each, and your proposed solution using defensive programming technique(s) to fix it.

Your document should be 2-3 pages long (not including the list of references and cover page), but it is the quality of the work that is important, not the number of pages. Cite and reference all sources using APA format and style guidelines and submit in a single document.
