I will echo that. There is no sense in using C-style strings.

All right I get it now. Aren't I right that the null character is never printed?

Code:

cout << '\0' << endl;

Nothing gets printed.
Wait a minute - the null character gets printed the same as a space.

That is correct.

No, it doesn't. Do you have empirical proof of this?

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout << "hello" << endl;//flush to the right side
    cout << '\0' << "hello" << endl;//space before hello

    return 0;
}
