  #include <stdio.h>

     char name[31];

  • This program takes a string as an input and then redisplays it.
  • What is a string? It is stream of characters. It could be letters, punctiation marks, or spaces, or a mix between them.
  • Since string is a stream of character, we define it like the above. This time we define a variable name that can hold up to 31 characters.
  • However, since C/C++ requires the characters terminated with a terminator code, the net-effect is we can only store 30 characters.
  • Note: Actually, this declaration defines an array of 31 characters. We will discuss array later.
