Output C String Characters: Techniques & Examples
In C language, strings can be seen as arrays of characters and can be outputted character by character. Here are some common methods:
- Iterate through each character of the string using a for loop and output them one by one by using an index.
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
char str[] = "Hello";
int i;
for (i = 0; str[i] != '\0'; i++) {
printf("%c\n", str[i]);
}
return 0;
}
- Using pointers: Traverse each character of the string with a pointer and output them one by one using the pointer.
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
char str[] = "Hello";
char *ptr = str;
while (*ptr != '\0') {
printf("%c\n", *ptr);
ptr++;
}
return 0;
}
Characters in a string can be output one by one, whether using loops and indexes or using pointers.
