Aug 15, 2012 · const char *HELLO2 = "Howdy"; The statement above can be changed with c code. Now you can't change the each individual character around like the statement below because its constant. HELLO2[0] = 'a'. But you what you can do is have it point to a different string like the statement below. HELLO2 = "HELLO WOLRD".
Jul 7, 2009 · Sorted by: 302. If you don't want to change the strings, then you could simply do. const char *a [2]; a [0] = "blah"; a [1] = "hmm"; When you do it like this you will allocate an array of two pointers to const char. These pointers will then be set to the addresses of the static strings "blah" and "hmm". If you do want to be able to change the ...
Strings in C are represented as arrays of characters. char *p = "String"; You are declaring a pointer that points to a string stored some where in your program (modifying this string is undefined behavior) according to the C programming language 2 ed. char p2[] = "String"; You are declaring an array of char initialized with the string "String ...
Aug 30, 2012 · A "C string" is an array of characters that ends with a 0 (null character) byte. The array, not any pointer, is the string. Thus, any terminal subarray of a C string is also a C string. Pointers of type char * (or const char *, etc.) are often thought of as pointers to strings, but they're actually pointers to an element of a string, usually ...
5. If it's C++, you should use the C++ Standard Library's std::string. It's much more clear than a preprocessor macro, it will have a single location in memory when it's defined, and it has all the extra functionality of std::string instead of only pointer comparisons as is the case with the implicit const char* that are created with a ...
Mar 10, 2011 · If they're both strings you can just do: #define STR3 STR1 STR2. This then expands to: #define STR3 "s" "1". and in the C language, separating two strings with space as in "s" "1" is exactly equivalent to having a single string "s1". edited Nov 3, 2020 at 8:12.

Nov 17, 2017 · In the last step, the string literals are joined into a single one. On a side note, your scanf() format string would require the user to literally enter Name: xyz
Jan 4, 2014 · What is a string in C. String is a part of char array, terminated by \0. String functions stop reading the array when they encounter the first \0 character. Remember that strlen returns the number of characters before the first \0, so even if the array ends immediately after the first \0, string length is strictly less than the underlying array ...
Mar 11, 2014 · 2. You can generally use the ## (double number sign) to concatenates two tokens in a macro invocation. However, since you have string literals jamming an already defined macro, you could just use spaces, else you could run into invalid preprocessing token. Also, you should escape your backslash. #define ID "valve1".
For example, how can I avoid writing the 'func_name' twice? #ifndef TEST_FUN # define TEST_FUN func_name # define TEST_FUN_NAME "func_name" #endif I'd like to follow the Single Point of
