this what my output is supposed to look like:

Strlen(s1) = 0 - 
Strlen(s2) = 17 - !!!Hello World!!!
Strlen(s3) = 39 - What do you want to set aside time for?

Strlen(s1) = 17 - !!!Hello World!!!
Strlen(s2) = 17 - !!!Hello World!!!
Strlen(s3) = 17 - !!!Hello World!!!

Same
Same
Not Same

Strlen(s1) = 51 - !!!Hello World!!!!!!Hello World!!!!!!Hello World!!!
Strlen(s2) = 20 - !!!Hello World!!!***
Strlen(s3) = 34 - !!!Hello World!!!!!!Hello World!!!


I have no ideawhat im doing wrong please help.

Well, first things first, you are missing at least one line of code after line 80 in main, the closing }. The code as provided won't compile.

Next up:

Lines 63 & 65 create two blank C strings (s1 & s3), so the first output of s3 should be the same as the first output of s1.

The two string copies at lines 76-77 copy blank C strings into your one C string that contained actual data more than being blank. Now all 3 C strings are blank.

FYI, there is an output tag that works better than using code tags for the output. See 2. in the article:
