String variables

Single Character
• ‘a’, ‘X’, or ‘5’ are examples of character constant.
• Character variables –
char symbol;
symbol = ‘a’;
symbol = ‘5’;
• Printing character variable
– printf (“%c”, symbol), putch(symbol)
• Reading character from keyboard
– getchar(), getch()
String constant
• Null character at the end of an character array
• Examples - “Hello”, “32.98”, “-?3c”, “X” .
• Declaration
– char name[10];
– char *name;
• Initialization
– name = “mamun”;
• char name[] = “mamun”;
String library function
#include <string.h>
* strcpy(dest_vav, src_var)
*strcmp(str1,str2). Returns 0 if equal
*strcat(str1, str2). str2 is appended with str1.
* strlen(str_var) return the length of str_var
excluding null (\0) character.
*substr(des_var, src_var, offset, length)
