C++ Array of Characters

C++ Array of Characters

We can represent a text string as plain arrays of elements of a character type.

Inizialization:

...
char myword[] = { 'H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', '\0' };
...
char myword[] = "Hello"; 
...
myword[0] = 'B';
myword[1] = 'y';
myword[2] = 'e';
myword[3] = '\0';
...

Working example:

// strings and NTCS:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
  char question1[] = "What is your name? ";
  string question2 = "Where do you live? ";
  char answer1 [80];
  string answer2;
  cout << question1;
  cin >> answer1;
  cout << question2;
  cin >> answer2;
  cout << "Hello, " << answer1;
  cout << " from " << answer2 << "!\n";
  return 0;
}

The result is:
What is your name? Homer
Where do you live? Greece
Hello, Homer from Greece!
