10.
What will be the output of the program ?
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
int main()
{
char str[] = "India\0\BIX\0";
printf("%d\n", strlen(str));
return 0;
}
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The function strlen returns the number of characters int the given string.
Therefore, strlen(str) becomes strlen("India") contains 5 characters. A string is a collection of characters terminated by '\0'.
The output of the program is "5".

The '\0' inside character literals and string literals stands for the character with the code zero.so 0 is considerd in the Turbo c.It may answer vary in the GCC complier.

@Amul: No, its implementation like
...
int i=0;
while(*(s++))
i++; "
....
Where "i" is the length of string "s".
...
int i=0;
while(*(s++))
i++; "
....
Where "i" is the length of string "s".

Answer should be 13, as its a string, not collection of character constants, so '\0' counts as 2 characters.

In strlen() it also counts '\0' as a character, so answer would be 6.

If we use 'gets' in the place of print? Please explain me.

The answer should be 6 as it will also count '\0'.
