But what if I want to use "strcpy" function to assign that new

Don't do this, you just corrupted memory! You wrote 13 bytes
into a memory location that contains 3.
Use `.dup`, it does the equivalent of `strcpy`.
Can you share why you want to use `strcpy` here?

Yes, I'm practicing doing things in low level style like standard
C.
