Pointers and Char Strings

Pointers and Char Strings

• char name[20], *cptr = name; is valid
• while (*cptr != ‘\0’) or (*cptr) is true until the end of the string is reached
• while (*cptr); length = cptr – name;
• char *name; name = “Delhi” is accepted
• Char arrays with variable row length are called ragged arrays, better handled by ptrs
