- 2. Strings The string can be defined as the one-dimensional array of characters terminated by a null ('0') character. The character array or the string is used to manipulate text such as word or sentences. The termination character ('0') is important in a string since it is the only way to identify where the string ends. Simmi S,Department of Computer Science

- 4. String Handling Functions • The C string functions are built-in functions that can be used for various operations and manipulations on strings. • These string functions can be used to perform tasks such as string copy, concatenation, comparison, length, etc. • The string handling functions are defined in a header file called string.h.

- 5. Types Of String Handling Functions Function Syntax (or) Example Description strcpy() strcpy(string1, string2) Copies string2 value into string1 strncpy() strncpy(string1, string2, 5) Copies first 5 characters string2 into string1 strlen() strlen(string1) Returns total number of characters in string1 strcat() strcat(string1,string2) Appends string2 to string1 strncat() strncpy(string1, string2, 4) Appends first 4 characters of string2 to string1 strcmp() strcmp(string1, string2) Returns 0 if string1 and string2 are the same; less than 0 if string1<string2; greater than 0 if string1>string2 strncmp() strncmp(string1, string2, 4) Compares first 4 characters of both string1 and string2 Simmi S,Department of Computer Science
