String ImageMap

A string is an array of characters, that has the Null Character at the end. The Null Character, '\0', is a special character which serves as a kind of marker. It marks the end of the array. The %s Format Character is used with strings, in both printf statements and scanf statements. The imagemap below shows two methods of inititalizing strings, both resulting in the Null Character being added after the other characters.
