Handling and using strings in C can be counterintuitive and tricky. Sometimes, they can give you a headache, but strings are a fundamental part of every application. When you’re building applications, especially console applications, you’ll often have to parse some string input or parse string data from a file. Then, you’ll need to export that data into a file with strings.
In this video, I’m going to do a complete tutorial covering how strings work in C. I’ll go over some common use cases, including how to:
- Declare strings
- Initialize strings
- Display strings
- Find string lengths
- Get strings from user input
- Compare strings
- Copy strings
- Concatenate strings
- Find substrings within strings
- Tokenize strings
These are common use cases that I’ve faced over the years for different personal projects and projects at my companies. Once you master these use cases, you’ll definitely be able to bring more life to your programs!
Thank you for watching, and happy coding! 💻🧡
