How to calculate the length of a string using the sizeof operator in the C language?
In C language, you can use the strlen function to calculate the length of a string. The sizeof operator is used to calculate the number of bytes occupied by a variable or data type.
Here is the sample code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main() {
char str[100] = "Hello, World!";
int len = strlen(str);
printf("字符串的长度是:%d\n", len);
printf("字符串所占的字节数是:%lu\n", sizeof(str));
return 0;
}
The output is:
字符串的长度是:13
字符串所占的字节数是:100
The strlen function returns the length of a string, which is the number of characters in the string (excluding the null character ‘\0’), while the sizeof operator returns the total number of bytes occupied by the string variable.
