How do you use strings in the C programming language?
In the C language, we can use char arrays to represent and manipulate strings. Here are some common string manipulation methods:
- Declare a string variable.
- Declare a string variable of length 50.
- Assigning values to strings.
- Copy the string constant “Hello World” into the variable str.
- Input string:
- Read a string from user input and store it in the variable “str”.
- String output:
- Print the string “str” to the screen.
- Length of the string:
- Get the length of the string str.
- String comparison:
- Compare two strings str1 and str2 and return an integer representing their relative order.
- String concatenation:
- Append string str2 to the end of string str1.
- String searching:
- char *substr = strstr(str, “search”); // Search for the substring “search” in the string str and return a pointer to the first occurrence.
These are just some basic string manipulation methods, C language also offers many other string processing functions and techniques.
