Declaring and Initializing String Variables in C | C Programming Tutorial for Beginners

You can initialize a string as follows:
char greeting[6] = {'H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', '\0'};
A more convenient way to initialize the above string is
char greeting[] = "Hello";
You do not need to add the null to the end of string constants manually. The compiler does this for you automatically. Note that, if the string is initialized where it is declared, mentioning the string size is optional. A string can also be initialized and printed using normal scanf() and printf() functions respectively just like any other variable. Unlike arrays, we do not need to print a string, character by character. It has a format specifier “%s” which can be used to directly print and read strings. In this program, we'll demonstrate how to declare and initialize a string variable in C.

Hope you learn something new from this tutorial.
