❏ Strings are used for storing text/characters. In C programming string is nothing

but a collection of characters in a linear sequence.
❏ Strings are actually array in this language. So we can access a string by
referring to its index number inside square bracket [].

STRING SYNTAX

★ General syntax for declaring a variable as a String:

char string_variable_name [ arraySize ];

★ Classic syntax for declaring a variable as a String:

char string_name [ string_length] = “string”;

*The size of an array must be defined while declaring a C string variable. Because it is used to
calculate how many characters are going to be stored inside that string.
