    char

    To declare a string of 50 letters, you would want to say:

    char string[50];


    Ok thats pretty clear... But how can you declare a string of infinity letters????

    You don't have infinte memory, therefore you cannot have an infinitely long char array. I'd recommend using std::string in the <string> library, as it resizes when needed.
