Pointers and Strings in C

Strings are treated like character arrays and therefore, they are declared and initialized as follows.

char s1[5]="hello"

A character array can also be declared suing pointers as

char *s1="hell";

The pointer "s1" points" to first element in the array. The array name is first element address.

 

Example:

void main()
{
char *s1="hello";
printf("%s",s1);
getch();
}
