Define Value/Content of String Variable Methode 3

On this section will be expalined how to define string variable value/string variable content on C programming language by using methode 3, please check it out!

A string constant is written by beginning and ending double quotes, example:

"ABCD"

The string value is saved in memory sequentially with composition as follows:

A

B

C

D

E

\0

A character will occupy memory of 1 byte. Last byte will contain NULL (\0) character automatically. By knowing that a string is ended NULL value, then end of a string value will be detected. As a array of character, first character of string value have index-0, second character have index-1, and so on.

Example:
If value of a string is ABCDE, then:

• index-0 is A
• index-1 is B
• index-2 is C
• index-3 is D
• index-4 is E
• index-5 is 0

Other syntax code to define string value ABCDE is:

char name_of_string [] = {'A','B','C','D','E','\0'};

Example of defining string variable value/string variable content on C programming language syntax:

1. Open Dev C++
2. File menu > New > Source File, then will be created a new worksheet titled Untitled1
3. File menu > Save As. On Save as type: choose C source files (*.c) and on File name, example we give name define string methode 3.c
4. First, type minimal required syntax on C programming:
   
   main()
   {
   }
   
   
5. Add getch() function in main() function to show program result while be Run:
   
   main()
   {
     getch();
   } 
   
   
6. Define a name of string variable in which after the string variable is given mark [ ] and defined its string value directly
   
   main()
   {
     char name_of_string [] = {'A','B','C','D','E','\0'};
     getch();
   } 
   
   
7. To show string value has been defined on syntax program, use printf() function without using code %s:
   
   main()
   {
     char name_of_string [] = {'A','B','C','D','E','\0'};
     printf(name_of_string);
     getch();
   } 
   
   If we try to cut NULL character, so that program syntax becomes:
   
   main()
   {
     char name_of_string [] = {'A','B','C','D','E'};
     printf(name_of_string);
     getch();
   } 
   
   than its result will occur ERROR, please try!
   
8. We can add other string variable:
   
   main()
   {
     char name_of_string1 [] = {'A','B','C','D','E','\0'};
     char name_of_string2 [] = {'L','e','a','r','n','\0'};
     printf("%s\n", name_of_string1);
     printf(name_of_string2);
     getch();
   }
