Problem statement

You want to implement a pseudo data structure for storing strings of arbitrary length. The advantage of your string data structure over raw C-style strings is that your data structure will be able to grow, without being limited to a fixed size.

For example, consider the following definition:

char str[256];

The string represented by str can store at most 255 characters and the ...
