Working with C$-$Strings

We can create a string in two different ways: $(1)$ using the C$-$string style, and $(2)$ using the string

class. To create an array using a C$-$string, we first need to declare an array of characters to store

the characters that make the string. You have to keep in mind that when you use the C$-$string

style to create a string, you are required to have an extra space at the end for character $\backslash 0$

which is known as the null character. The null character, $\backslash 0,$ marks the end of the string. In

general, a string in which the null character marks its end is referred to as a C$-$string. The

following array is an example of a C$-$string, which allows us to store $7$ or fewer characters:

char mystring$[8]$;

Note this array can hold $8$ characters, but the last one is kept for $\backslash 0.$ If we initialize this array
