C and C based languages - Character Strings

Character Strings - C and C based languages module C206

As well as doing calculations on numbers, you'll want your program to be able to handle strings of text - things like names and addresses and product codes ... and HTML tags and SQL queries too, perhaps. C defines strings as char[] types, and there's a whole raft of standard functions that are available to work on strings.
