Pay attention to the char *BookName in struct BookStruct,when assign the retrieved uuid value to the struct char *BookName

At first,allocate memory to the char * BookName

ptr->BookName = (char *)malloc(40);

Then assign the retrieved uuid value dynamically by computer via strcpy method instead of = directly

strcpy(ptr->BookName,getUuidValue3());
