String in C

In C programming, a "string" is a sequence of characters enclosed within double quotes (" "). Strings are used to represent text or character data. In C, strings are essentially arrays of characters terminated by a null character ('\0'), which marks the end of the string.

Key Points about Strings in C:

  • Character Array: In C, a string is typically represented as a character array. For example: 
    
			char myString[] = "Hello, World!";
  • Null-Terminated: C strings are null-terminated, which means they end with a null character ('\0') to indicate the end of the string. This null character is automatically added by the C compiler when you define a string with double quotes.
  • String Functions: C provides a set of standard library functions for working with strings, such as strlen, strcpy, strcat, strcmp, and more. These functions help you manipulate and operate on strings.
  • String Input and Output: You can use printf to display strings and scanf to input strings. For example: 
    printf("My string is: %s\n", myString);
  • Character Access: Individual characters within a string can be accessed using array indexing. For example, myString[0] would give you the first character ('H' in this case).
  • String Literal: A string literal is a sequence of characters enclosed in double quotes. For example, "Hello, World!" is a string literal.
  • String Manipulation: You can concatenate strings, compare them, and perform various operations using the standard library functions and character array manipulation.
  • Character Escapes: Strings can contain special escape sequences, such as '\n' for a newline and '\t' for a tab, to represent non-printable characters. Here's a simple example of printing a string in C: 
    
		#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    char myString[] = "Hello, World!";
    printf("My string is: %s\n", myString);
    return 0;
}

    This program declares a string 'myString' and then uses 'printf' to display it. The %s format specifier is used to print strings in C.

C strings are an essential part of C programming and are widely used for working with textual data. They are commonly used for tasks such as input and output, parsing, and text processing.
