Answer 1

sprintf is printf for string. Everything you can do with printf can be achieved with sprintf.

example: sprintf(name, "%s %s", first_name, last_name);

strcpy just copies string to the other.

I don't know anything about the differences, except that fact that sprintf allows string formatting.
