4. What is the output of this program?

#include <iostream>

#include <cstring>

using namespace std;

int main ()

char str1[10] = "Hello";

char str2[10] = "World";

char str3[10];

int len ;

strcpy( str3, str1);

strcat( str1, str2)

len = strlen(str1);

cout << len << endl;

return 0;

a) 5
b) 55
c) 11
d) 10
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: In the program, We are concatanating the str1 and str2 and printing
it’s total length. So the length is 10.
Output:
