Using the cstring library and (null terminated) character arrays in C++
An introduction to the use of character arrays in C++, and the role of the null terminator to mark the end of the "useful portion" of an array. This includes a look at some of the common cstring functions (strlen, strcpy, strcat, strcmp, strncpy, strncmp, strncat) and how we could implement similar functionality ourselves.
