Answer / kapil kumar verma iimt meerut
when we declare array of char it has to be terminated by
null but termination by null in case of string is
automatic.the compiler automatically puts a null char when
we insert a string for example "kapil" for the
string "kapil\0", but for a char array we need assign a
place for it for example a[6] contains five char & a null
char.& secondly
when char array is read through scanf() input function then
spaces are not allowed if characters is read as string
(through gets() function) spaces are allowedand are treated
as a single char.

Answer / zubair
String is much same as character array, it can also be
checked by each characters:
string str;for(int i=0;str[i]!='\0';i++) cout <<str[i]<<endl;
1. The NULL terminator is loaded automatically in string.('\0')
2.Both of them drop the data after space when we take input.

Answer / saumil
the compiler automatically puts a null character when we
insert a string...for eg "abc" for the compiler is "abc\0".
but for a array of characters we need to assign a place for
it..for eg a[15] contains 14 characters and a null
character('\0').

1.major difference is: string will have static storage
duration, whereas as a character array will not, unless it
is explicity specified by using the static keyword.

Character array consist of group of characters, and static one
char a[10] means 9 are for using purpose and one is null
In case of string null is taken as default and is taken into
double quotes

Answer / shayan
the main difference between array of char and string is that when we declare array of char like char name[6],in this case for example shayan s is stored in 0 index and last character is n which is at 5 index but i delared 6 because 6th index is of null character which is neccesary to declare but in string it will automatically declare by the compiler like "shayan" after n compiler automatically put \0 after n.

Why shouldn’t I start variable names with underscores?
array contains zeros and ones as elements.we need to bring zeros one side and one other side in single parse. ex:a[]={0,0,1,0,1,1,0,0} o/p={0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1}
