Learning to Program in C (Part 07)

This is part 7 in our tutorial on learning to program in C. In this video we will learn about strings and pointers in C.

This video finally got me over my C pointers hump. Thanks, Dr.

0:40 I think the standard way to declare a char array is like this:
char str[10];
The brackets are placed after the variable name, not after the char keyword. I know in Java you can put brackets after the char keyword, but I'm not sure if you can do this in C.

I had the following as a output to first stringfun.c:
hello
xbye

I think this program falls under undefined/inconsistent behavior?

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void){
int count = 99;
int *pCount = &count;
count = *pCount +1;
printf("count is now %i", count);
}

why does it return a wrong value

Hi When I compile stringfun.c (using GCC) I get error: warning farewell unused variable and the compile is successful and on run I get
hello
x▒▒#
So I do NOT get hellobye....nor xhellobye This is not the same as your compile & run so it doesn't really help in understanding '\0' but I think I understand what your point is! :-)
