+1 not what OP asked but this is probably what the assignment expect you to do, since he can't use pointers.

Even printf uses pointers. A pointer is like a knife -- essential for living and working, but you have to hold it by the handle and use the sharp side to cut with or you are gonna have a bad time. The unfortunate placing of spaces in the function definition is a brain bug for many a new C programmer. char * func( char * s); char func( char *s); char func * char* s); are all the same but all look different, and to compound confusion, * is also the de-reference operator for variables that are pointers.
