I think the first one is reversing the string and the second one is copying one string to other

Yeah, the first one reverses the string. I'm not too sure about the second one - it looks more like comparing two strings, rather than copying one to another.

Any other comments????

No if you see it is a single "=",that is copying and it terminates when *a=*b=''

char *a="hai", *b="san";
while(*b++ = *a++);

This program leads to crash, as we are assigning one memory location to other memory location.

Second function is copying 'a' to 'b' provided that 'a' should be a null terminated string.
