How to define a string array in the C language?

In the C language, strings can be represented using character arrays. A character array is essentially a continuous variable of character type used to store a sequence of characters. There are two ways to define a character array:

  1. Define a string using an array of characters.
  2. str array contains the value “Hello world”
  3. In this scenario, the compiler automatically calculates the size of the character array and stores the content of the string in the array. The size of the character array includes the length of the string plus the size of a terminating character ‘\0’.
  4. Defining a string using character pointers.
  5. The variable ‘str’ contains the string “Hello world”.
  6. In this case, a character pointer points to a string constant, which is stored in memory in a similar way to a character array, with the string constant ending in ‘\0’.

It is important to note that when using a character array to store a string, you need to ensure that the size of the character array is sufficient to store the length of the string, otherwise it may lead to errors such as buffer overflow.
