Assigns a character.

1) Assigns character a to character r.
2) Assigns character a to each character in count characters in the character sequence pointed to by p.

### Parameters

a | - | character value to assign
r | - | character to assign to
p | - | pointer to a character sequence to assign to
count | - | the length of the character sequence

### Return value

1) (none)
2) p

### Complexity
