string
class has been briefly introduced in an earlier chapter. It is a very powerful class to handle and manipulate strings of characters. However, because strings are, in fact, sequences of characters, we can represent them also as plain arrays of elements of a character type.For example, the following array:
is an array that can store up to 20 elements of type
char
. It can be represented as:Therefore, this array has a capacity to store sequences of up to 20 characters. But this capacity does not need to be fully exhausted: the array can also accommodate shorter sequences. For example, at some point in a program, either the sequence
'Hello'
or the sequence 'Merry Christmas'
can be stored in foo
, since both would fit in a sequence with a capacity for 20 characters.By convention, the end of strings represented in character sequences is signaled by a special character: the null character, whose literal value can be written as
'0'
(backslash, zero).In this case, the array of 20 elements of type
char
called foo
can be represented storing the character sequences 'Hello'
and 'Merry Christmas'
as:Notice how after the content of the string itself, a null character (
'0'
) has been added in order to indicate the end of the sequence. The panels in gray color represent char
elements with undetermined values.Initialization of null-terminated character sequences
Because arrays of characters are ordinary arrays, they follow the same rules as these. For example, to initialize an array of characters with some predetermined sequence of characters, we can do it just like any other array:The above declares an array of 6 elements of type
char
initialized with the characters that form the word 'Hello'
plus a null character'0'
at the end.But arrays of character elements have another way to be initialized: using string literals directly.
In the expressions used in some examples in previous chapters, string literals have already shown up several times. These are specified by enclosing the text between double quotes (
'
). For example:This is a string literal, probably used in some earlier example.
Sequences of characters enclosed in double-quotes (
'
) are literal constants. And their type is, in fact, a null-terminated array of characters. This means that string literals always have a null character ('0'
) automatically appended at the end.Therefore, the array of char elements called
myword
can be initialized with a null-terminated sequence of characters by either one of these two statements:In both cases, the array of characters
myword
is declared with a size of 6 elements of type char
: the 5 characters that compose the word 'Hello'
, plus a final null character ('0'
), which specifies the end of the sequence and that, in the second case, when using double quotes ('
) it is appended automatically.Please notice that here we are talking about initializing an array of characters at the moment it is being declared, and not about assigning values to them later (once they have already been declared). In fact, because string literals are regular arrays, they have the same restrictions as these, and cannot be assigned values.
Expressions (once myword has already been declared as above), such as:
would not be valid, like neither would be:
This is because arrays cannot be assigned values. Note, though, that each of its elements can be assigned a value individually. For example, this would be correct:

Strings and null-terminated character sequences
Plain arrays with null-terminated sequences of characters are the typical types used in the C language to represent strings (that is why they are also known as C-strings). In C++, even though the standard library defines a specific type for strings (classstring
), still, plain arrays with null-terminated sequences of characters (C-strings) are a natural way of representing strings in the language; in fact, string literals still always produce null-terminated character sequences, and not string
objects.In the standard library, both representations for strings (C-strings and library strings) coexist, and most functions requiring strings are overloaded to support both.
For example,
cin
and cout
support null-terminated sequences directly, allowing them to be directly extracted from cin
or inserted into cout
, just like strings. For example:In this example, both arrays of characters using null-terminated sequences and strings are used. They are quite interchangeable in their use together with
cin
and cout
, but there is a notable difference in their declarations: arrays have a fixed size that needs to be specified either implicit or explicitly when declared; question1
has a size of exactly 20 characters (including the terminating null-characters) and answer1
has a size of 80 characters; while strings are simply strings, no size is specified. This is due to the fact that strings have a dynamic size determined during runtime, while the size of arrays is determined on compilation, before the program runs.In any case, null-terminated character sequences and strings are easily transformed from one another:
Null-terminated character sequences can be transformed into strings implicitly, and strings can be transformed into null-terminated character sequences by using either of
string
's member functions c_str
or data
:(note: both
c_str
and data
members of string
are equivalent)Previous: Arrays | Index | Next: Pointers |

i hope someone out there could really help me.
im trying to store large numbers. as i need to complete my work under Dev-c++ environment but im not familiar with it as i just started using it recently.
the following is my initial coding for my work.

- Mar 22, 2012 This video show you how to write a program that will convert a C number to string or char. We using the streamstring class and its header file sstream to achieve this goal.
- 3.C String inbuilt constructor. In the context of conversion of char array to string, we can use C String Constructor for the same. Syntax: string string-name(char array-name); This constructor takes a sequence of characters terminated by a null character as an input parameter.
after i compile using Dev-C++, it shows this error description:
invalid conversion from 'char' to 'const char*'
initializing argument 1 of 'int atoi(const char*)'
i've tried all ways to modify my coding but i just cant get it.
really would be happy if someone could help me.
Add lines to host file little snitch. hope to receives some replies as soon as possible.thank you.

String Object. In C, you can also create a string object for holding strings. Unlike using char arrays, string objects has no fixed length, and can be extended as per your requirement. 'dev' is not a string it is a const char. like var1. Thus you are indeed comparing the memory adresses. Being that var1 is a char pointer,.var1 is a single char (the first character of the pointed to character sequence to be precise). You can't compare a char against a char pointer, which is why that did not work. I hope someone out there could really help me. Im trying to store large numbers. As i need to complete my work under Dev-c environment but im not familiar with it as i just started using it recently. The following is my initial coding for my work. /.This is a program to calculate large numbers.

My guess is the problem is in stack2.cpp. https://entrancementrules.weebly.com/scratch-pro-2-traktor.html. Cake maker free download. But since you did not post it there is no way to tell. Also please post the exact error message including file and line number
