Character ,Character Arrays and Strings
Character :
C/C++ support various characters (eg
...

„a‟
„f‟ ete
...

Initializing a character :
Char ch=‟a‟;
Reading a character from a terminal
The scanf () can be use with %c format specification to read
a character
...
(in C++ language)
Example:
Char ch;
Cin>>ch;
getchar( ) is also use to read a character
...
(in C language)
Example:
Char ch=‟k‟;
printf(“%c”,ch);
The cout<< is use to print/display a character
...
(in C/C++
language)
char ch=‟d‟;
putchar(ch);

Character Arrays /Strings:
C/C++ does not support string as a data type; however, it
allows us to represent string as character array
...
)
Any group of characters define between in a double quotation
marks is a string constant
...

Initializing a string :
char name[12]={„P‟,‟a‟,‟l‟,‟l‟,‟a‟,‟b‟,‟
‟,‟D‟,‟e‟,‟k‟,‟a‟,‟\0‟};
OR
char name[12]=“Pallab Deka”;
OR
char name[ ]={“Pallab Deka”};
OR
Char name[ ]={„P‟,‟a‟,‟l‟,‟l‟,‟a‟,‟b‟,‟
‟,‟D‟,‟e‟,‟k‟,‟a‟,‟\0‟};
When a compiler assigns a character string to a array, it
automatically supplies NULL character (‘\0’) at the end of
the string
Reading a string from a terminal
The scanf () can be use with %s format specification to read
a string
...
(in C++ language)
Example:
Char name[30];
Cin>>name;
gets( ) is also use to read a string
...
(in C language)
Example:
char name[ ]={“Pallab Deka”};
printf(“%s”,name);
The cout<< is use to display/print a string
...
(in C/C++
language)

char name[ ]={“Pallab Deka”};
puts(name);

(*We need not have to use loop statement to read /write
the characters of a string into the character array)

Some other library/inbuilt functions can be used to solve
string related problem
...

strcpy()------it is used to copies one string over another
...

etc
