An array of characters is called a string.
Given below is the declaration of a string −
char stringname [size];
For example, char string[50]; string of length 50 characters.
Initialization
- Using single character constant.
char string[10] = { ‘H’, ‘e’, ‘l’, ‘l’, ‘o’ ,‘\0’}
- Using string constants.
char string[10] = “Hello”:;
Accessing
There is a control string “%s” used for accessing the string till it encounters ‘\0’.
The logic we used to print the ASCII values of a given string at runtime is as follows −
while(str[i]!='\0'){ printf("\nASCII Value of %c = %d", str[i], str[i]); i++; }
Example
Following is the C program to print the ASCII values of a given string −
#include<stdio.h> int main() { char string[50]; int i=0; printf("Enter the Sentenc: "); gets(string); while(string[i]!='\0') { printf("\nASCII Value of %c=%d", string[i], string[i]); i++; } getch(); return 0; }
Output
When the above program is executed, it produces the following output −
Enter the Sentence: Tutorials Point ASCII Value of T = 84 ASCII Value of u = 117 ASCII Value of t = 116 ASCII Value of o = 111 ASCII Value of r = 114 ASCII Value of i = 105 ASCII Value of a = 97 ASCII Value of l = 108 ASCII Value of s = 115 ASCII Value of = 32 ASCII Value of P = 80 ASCII Value of o = 111 ASCII Value of i = 105 ASCII Value of n = 110 ASCII Value of t = 116
