I have shared Programming Tips for Platform Independent (Portable) programming in this Forum. While working on a project in USA in 1991-92, I also noted down some interesting points of C programming as I learned. I am sharing these points here in the attached PDF. As File size increases, I am sharing points in 3 parts (3 PDFs attached)

No it doesn't.

No, it occupies two bytes.
Each of your strings has a \0 at the end.

But you didn't count for all the pointers in your char *name case.
Which actually takes up more space in any given situation depends on how similar all the string lengths are.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
