MODULE III - SYLLABUS

Arrays and strings

Arrays Declaration and Initialization- processing an


array - 1-Dimensional Arrays, 2-Dimensional Arrays -
simple programs using single dimensional arrays –
linear search, bubble sort, simple programs using
multidimensional arrays – matrix operations.

String processing: reading and displaying


strings, In built String handling functions – gets,
puts, inbuilt string handling functions (strlen,
strcpy, strcat and strcmp), simple programs
covering strings

COURSE OUTCOME

CO3: Write readable C programs with arrays, structure or


union for storing the data to be processed
Strings & String constants

• A string constant consists of a sequence of characters


enclosed in double quotes.

Examples: “Hi Rani!”


“1-Jan-2021”
“Welcome to C Programming”

Note: A string constant may consist of any combination


of digits, letters, escape sequences and spaces.
String variable

• Since a string is a sequence of characters, arrays


can be used to store and process strings.
• A string is an array of characters.
• A string variable is a one dimensional array of
characters that is capable of holding a string at a
time.
Run Time Initialization
E. Formatted Input
• The scanf() function is used to read the formatted data from the
standard input device (usually a keyboard).
• The scanf() function uses format specifier inside it indicating what sort
of data the function will read from the user.
& not required
How to read string with spaces using scanf() ?
• Read string with spaces by using "%[^\n]s" format specifier

• The format specifier "%[^\n]" tells the compiler to read the


characters until "\n" is not found.
• Example:

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
char str[20];
scanf("%[^\n]s", str);
printf("%s", str);

return 0;
}
