C String Operations Explained

The document provides an overview of string operations in C programming, defining strings as sequences of characters and explaining their declaration, initialization, and reading methods. It details various string functions such as strcat() for concatenation, strcmp() for comparison, strcpy() for copying, strlen() for length determination, and strrev() for reversing strings. The document emphasizes the importance of proper memory allocation for string operations and includes syntax examples for each function.

STRING OPERATIONS

PRESENTATION BY…
[Link].
• [Link] SIAL.
DEFINITION:

*A string is a sequence of characters enclosed within double quotes.


Eg:”c programming”
*The terminating null character is not counted while determining the length of a
string.
*The empty string is written as” “.
DECLARATION AND INISIALIZATION OF STRING:

*C doesn't support as a datatype.


*So they are declared as a array of characte in the string_name.
Char string-name[30];
This statement declared a charcter array text with 30 characters.
Charname[5]=“Nisha”
* C also permits to initialise a character array without specifying the number of
elements.
READING STRINGS:

• The scanf function with %s format specification can be used


to read a string from the user and store it in a character array.
*string operations: In c there are large [Link] functions.
The functions use the standard header file (string.h).
• strcat()-concatenates two strings.
• strcmp()-compare two strings.
• strcpy()-copies one string over other string.
• strlen()-Finds length of a string.
• strrev()-Reverse the strings.
STRING CONCATENATION:,(STRCAT)

• The process of joining two strings together is called


[Link] takes 2 strings are arguments.
• The character of second string are appended at the
end of the first string.
• The first string must have enough space to accommodate
the second string.
• Syntax:
Strcat(str1,str,2);
STRING COMPARISON:(STRCPY)

• The strcpy() functions compares two strings.


If both strings are identical then this function
return 0.
• Otherwise returns a numerical value which
the difference between the 1st and 2nd character.
• Syntax:
• Strcpy(str1,str2);
COPYING A STRING:

• The strcpy() function copies the string to the destination


string.
• Syntax:
• Strcpy(str1,str2);
• Str1 is target [Link] stores the contents of the source
string in str2.
LENGTH OF A STRING:

• The strlen() function is used to find the length of a string.


• This function return the length of the string terminating null character is not counted
while determining the length of the string.
• Syntax:
• len=strlen(string);
• The process is terminated on the occurrence
null character ‘\0”,
REVERSE STRING:

• The strrev() function reverse all the character


of a string expect the terminating null character.
• Syntax:
strrev(string);
