    String is represented as a character array, which is terminated by a null character '\0'. Actually, you do not place the null character at the end of a string constant. The C++ compiler automatically places the '\0' at the end of the string when it initializes the array. Due to this this null character, array should be one larger than the number of characters in the string.
