What are strings in the C language?

In C language, a string is an array of characters, with the ‘\0’ character as the ending. Each character occupies one byte of memory space and can be represented using the char type. Strings in C are represented within double quotes (“”) such as “Hello World”. Strings can be stored and manipulated by defining character arrays or using pointers. C language provides a series of string handling functions, such as strcpy, strcat, strlen, etc., for common operations like copying, concatenating, and getting the length of strings.
