Help recreating strdup()...

[TinyTertle]

Rules:
No standard library functions may be used.
No subscripting is allowed.

Here's what I have:

char* strdupl(const char* s)
{
	//find length of s
	int n = 0;
	while (*s){ s++; n++; }
	s -= n;

	//create new C-style string
	char* d = new char[n];

	//deep copy old string into new string
	for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
		*d = *s;
		d++; s++;
	}

	return d;
}

However, the results are gibberish and I don't know what I've done wrong.

while (*s) s++; n++;
Is that n++ meant to be part of the while loop?

[TinyTertle]

Yeah, sorry I left out curly braces; results are still gibberish.

[Moschops]

return d; d is pointing off the end of the array.

Yes it was! I'm pretty new to pointer arithmetic so I'm very sloppy about it. Thank you very much for the help!
