Expert Solution & Answer

Program Description Answer

C-string” is a series of characters that are stored in successive memory locations and it is terminated by a null character.

Explanation of Solution

C-string:

C-string is a series of characters that are stored in successive memory locations and it is terminated by a null character.

The ASCII code for the null character is 0, but in C++ and many programming languages it is represented by ‘\0’.

  • In a program, c-strings can be used in three forms. They are:
    • Programmer-defined arrays of character
    • Hard-coded string literals
    • Pointers to character
  • C++ language also provides some library functions to work with C-strings. Some of them are:
    • “strlen” function – This function helps to find the length of the string.
    • “strcat” function – By using this function, two or more than two strings can be concatenated.
    • “strcpy” function – This function is used to copy the string from one variable to another variable.
    • “strcmp” function – This function helps to compare strings.
  • In order to use C-string library functions, the header file “#include<cstring>” must be used.
