Passing Strings to Function
As strings are character arrays, we can pass strings to functions in the same way we pass an array to a function. Below is a sample program to do this:
C
// C program to illustrate how to// pass string to functions#include <stdio.h>void printStr(char str[]) { printf("String is : %s", str); }int main(){ // declare and initialize string char str[] = "w3wiki"; // print string by passing string // to a different function printStr(str); return 0;} |
Output:
String is : w3wiki
Strings in C
A String in C programming is a sequence of characters terminated with a null character ‘\0’. The C String is stored as an array of characters. The difference between a character array and a C string is that the string in C is terminated with a unique character ‘\0’.
