C-Strings (Character Arrays)
Character array: An array whose components are of type char.

The first character in the ASCII character set is the null character,
which is nonprintable. Also, recall that in C++, the null character is
represented as '\0'

The following are examples of C-strings:


"John L. Johnson"
"Hello there.“

From the definition of C-strings, it is clear that there is a difference


between 'A' and "A". The first one is character A; the second is C-
string A. Because C-strings are null terminated, "A" represents two
characters: 'A' and '\0'.

C-Strings (Character Arrays)

C++ provides a set of functions that can be used for C-string


manipulation. The header file cstring describes these functions.
We often use three of these functions:
strcpy (string copy, to copy a C-string into a C-string variable—that is,
assignment)
strcmp (string comparison, to compare C-strings)
strlen (string length, to find the length of a C-string).

Parallel Arrays
Two (or more) arrays are called parallel if their corresponding
components hold related information.
