What do you mean by string in c language?

Answer 1

Character arrays or pointers to character are termed as strings in c language. Like:

char arr[10] = {'s', 't', 'i', 'n', 'g'};

char *pchar = "string";

Above answer is the first answer for the question

But there is a lot of difference between character array and string.

string means a group of characters .And string is enclosed between double quotation marks i.e(" ") .

Declaration of string is same as of char array ,which is as follows

char str[20];

And initialization is different from that of character array

initialization:-

char str[7]={"vardhan"};

Answer 2

A string is an array of characters, typically of variable length, terminated with a null character.

char sz[] = "This is a string.";

The array sz has length 18, including the terminating null ('\0') character.

Answer 3

Essentially, a String in java is a non-primitive data type that stores plaintext. Of course you can go much deeper with this into how memory allocation occurs for a string, etc. but essentially a string is an array of characters, such as: "Text!", in which java simply sees it as T in point 0 (counting in arrays, ArrayLists, strings, etc. starts with index zero and goes to object length -1) with a e in point 1, etc. Essentially, when you type the code:

String myString = "Hello";

Java is doing this:

char[] (name) = new char[]{'T', 'e', 'x', 't', '!'};

where (name) is some system-assigned name,

Then assigning a pointer of type String to the char array it just created.

As java is quite a user-friendly language, it hides this stuff behind a non-primitive datatype String, which is truly a class which (to put it simply) handles the creation and access of the char array, with things such as substrings, etc. built into String.class.

Answer 4

The only example of a string is an array of character data types. The only real difference between string types is the length of each character. For instance, ANSI and UTF-8 strings are encoded as an array of single byte character widths. In some languages, the first element of the array denotes the length of the string (in characters) while in others, a null-terminator denotes the end of a string. Null-terminated strings are more common as they allow strings of any length (memory permitting) whereas length-encoded ANSI strings (for example) would be limited to a maximum of 255 characters.

Answer 5

String is a group of characters which ends with a '\0'. String is accessed by refrencing their index given to them

Answer 6

a string is a sentence, word or a heap of random letters.

I KNOW BECAUSE I USE STRINGS

IN PROGRAMMING ALL THE TIME

Answer 7

string is nothing but the set of characters.

during programming we enclose them with double quotes, to represent them.

Answer 8

A string is a null-terminated array of type char.
