About strings in c language
-
Here is wide character string version for international users.
const wchar_t* string = "string";
Unicode/MBCS gets very messy developing on Windows, dependent on whether UNICODE is defined at compile time. see this article for a comprehensive explanation. What-are-TCHAR-WCHAR-LPSTR-LPWSTR-LPCTSTR-etc? :)

do you know how to assign strings in c program?please answer me.

strcpy? Ever looked at that? Even beter strncpy, is that what you mean? For example;
char mystr[100];
memset(mystr, 0, 100); // not necessary but I like it tidy
strcpy(mystr, "ask a better question");
============================== Nothing to say.

I have always held that less code is better code. When doing this kind of thing I prefer the syntax:
char mystr[100] = {0};
strcpy(mystr, "ask a better question");
which I think is clearer and lets the compiler do all the work. [Also I would use strcpy_s() and probably several other stylistic issues...]

That isnt going to work. As Richrd says it needs to be const wchar_t* string = L"string"; or at the vey least use the T() macro and use tchars.
============================== Nothing to say.
Yes, I realise that now. :doh: I've been avoiding wide-char & unicode for as long as possible because it does my frickin' head in. Only now am I coming to regret not dealing with it sooner. :sigh:

Yeah, I actually allocate all arrays on the heap because buffer overruns are tracked better and dont trash the stack making it easier to debug so I always have the memset. Of course dont forget the compiler is just doing the memset for you, it is invisible, but still takes place so isnt any different when the code actually runs.

Avoiding unicode? Why, its great! Really, all the languages, all the localisation taken care of, propper strings. No messing around! Go for it! :)

The problem isn't unicode, the problem is (was) patchy support with certain windows APIs having to switch between different encodings to get API-X to behave then switch back again. X|

Objective-C does. Standard C, no.

So does C++.

Have a look at
char[]
Char[] are used to store ASCII string in C.
