what is diffrence between string and character array?..

Answer / vadivelt

By default String always ends with NULL character ie., '\0'.

But in character array manually it is needed to terminate
with NULL(You can do this, only when you wanted to use
character array as string)

Eg;

char *p = "Vadivel"; /*By default string is terminated
with '\0'*/

char array[8] = {'V','a','d','i','v','e','l','\0'};
/*Here terminated manually*/
