What is the difference between a string and an array?
The following are the differences:
- String can hold only char data. Where as an array can hold any data type.
- An array size can not be changed. Where as a string size can be changed if it
is a char pointer
- The last element of an array is an element of the specific type. The last
character of a string is a null – ‘\0’ character.
- The length of an array is to specified in [] at the time of declaration
(except char[]). The length of the string is the number of characters + one
(null character).
