Question

DOUBT:

suppose a memory space of 16B is given and it is asked that  what is the maximum length of string it can store.

then do we have to consider the space taken by the “\0” also? 

OR just the string length?

Comments

So the ans is only string length, but it is for maximum length of string.

Answer 1

I think yes because it differentiate the two strings like iitbiitd here is two string so we have to take extra space to differentiate between them that is called null “\0” 

 iitb\0iitd\0

…………..

yes it differentiate two strings but null terminating character does not take any space. and null terminating character also take space.

"\0" (null character) does take space of $1$ Byte. @Nisha Bharti count the number of letters, its $12$ without the null character and $13$ with the null

@Abhrajyoti00 sorry it take space i already said but after adding screenshot did not know what i said😅

@Nisha Bharti

so in greetings[]  you have given each element of array specifically .

and in greetings2[]  a string is given which is then stored in an array with a NULL string.

is this the correct difference between these two?

---

so for 16B it can store a maximum 15B length of string right? and 1B for NULL .

---

@Abhrajyoti00 no difference.

---

@Abhrajyoti00 no actually it can store 16B of maximum length of string.

now after 6 byte it get overflow.
