C Strings

• Hidden assumption 1: null terminated
• Hidden assumption 2: memory has been allocated

// static:
char str1 [11];              // static array of char
str1[10] = '\0';             // null-terminate
strcpy (str1, "abcdefghij"); // define the chars in the string

// dynamic:
char* str2;                  // pointer to char
str2 = new char [11];        // dynamic array of char
str2[10] = '\0';             // null-terminate
strcpy (str2, str1);         // define

// operator <<():
cout << str1 << ' ' << str2 << '\n';
