Thread: Setting an empty string

Nothing can be empty it will have some value in it but if I get what you mean

Code:

char string[50] = '\0';

would set all elements to \0, which is as close to empty as you can get.

They will both work, but perform different purposes.

char CharArray[] = "Something"; // initialize the character string to what's between the "s plus the \0 character at the end.

so
char string[] = ""; // creates an array of one character which would be the \0 character.

char string[50] = ""; // creates an array of 50 characters with the initial string of \0.

You are right either way but it depends on what you want to do as to which one you should use.

A truly "empty" string would be
char *pString = NULL;

cool
