Question

Is an array of characters always a string?

(a) Yes, always

(b) Yes, if each character is terminated by null

(c) No, since each character is terminated by null

(d) No, never

I got this question by my school principal while I was bunking the class.

This interesting question is from Object Array topic in chapter Object of Object Oriented Programming

Answer 1

Correct answer is (d) No, never

The explanation is: The character arrays are not the same as string. The string once created then remains the same. The character array values may change.
