What is a C-string? (again and again...)

• As repeated for so many times in the previous chapters
• A C-style string is a NULL-terminated character array
• A string constant is enclosed by a pair of double-quotes (")
• "This is a string constant!"
• A string constant is of the type
• char* or char[] and implicitly cast to const char* or const char[]
• A string ends with a null character
• const char* s = {'a','b','c','\0'};
• is identical to
• const char* s = "abc";
