Working with C-Strings
We can create a string in two different ways: (1) using the C-string style, and (2) using the string
class. To create an array using a C-string, we first need to declare an array of characters to store
the characters that make the string. You have to keep in mind that when you use the C-string
style to create a string, you are required to have an extra space at the end for character ‘\0’
which is known as the null character. The null character, ‘\0’, marks the end of the string. In
general, a string in which the null character marks its end is referred to as a C-string. The
following array is an example of a C-string, which allows us to store 7 or fewer characters:
char mystring[8];
Note this array can hold 8 characters, but the last one is kept for ‘\0’. If we initialize this array
