The code i wrote is supposed to take the string i enter and remove the first letter but it doesnt work

Question

I tried making a program to take a string, remove the first character, then move the rest back one index, but when i compile and run it it just returns the same string.

Here's the code

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

void remfirst(char arr[]) {
    for(int i = 0;i <= strlen(arr); i++) {
        arr[i] = arr[i+1];
    }
}

int main() {
    char string[32];
    fgets(string, 32, stdin);
    remfirst(&string[32]);
    printf("%s", &string);
    return 0;
}

Answer 1

For starters the argument expression of the function call is incorrect

remfirst(&string[32]);

It is a pointer to memory beyond the character array.

You need to write

remfirst( string );

A similar problem exists in this call

 printf("%s", &string);

The conversion specifier s expects an argument of the type char * but you are passing an argument of the type char ( * ) [32].

You need to write

printf("%s", string);

As for the function itself then it is better to use standard function memmove instead of using manually written for loop. For example

char * remfirst( char s[] )
{
    memmove( s, s + 1, strlen( s ) );

    return s;
}

Or

char * remfirst( char s[] )
{
    return memmove( s, s + 1, strlen( s ) );
}
