A programmer can initialize a string variable during declaration: char firstMonth[8]"January" The literal's number of characters should be less than the array size. Strings are always terminated with a special character called the null character, \0. To hold the string January", 8 characters are needed, J, 'a, 'n, u, 'a, r, y,10.
