一.size_t strlen ( const char * str );

Get string length

Returns the length of str.

The length of a C string is determined by the terminating null-character: A C string is as long as the amount of characters between the beginning of the string and the terminating null character.

This should not be confused with the size of the array that holds the string. For example:

char mystr[100]="test string";
defines an array of characters with a size of 100 chars, but the C string with whichmystr has been initialized has a length of only 11 characters. Therefore, whilesizeof(mystr) evaluates to 100, strlen(mystr) returns 11.

Parameters

string
C string.

Return Value

The length of string.

Example

/*strlen example */

#include <stdio.h>

#include <string.h>

int main ()

{

 char szInput[256];

 printf ("Enter a sentence: ");

 gets (szInput);

 printf ("The sentence entered is %u characters long.\n",(unsigned)strlen(szInput));

 return 0;

}

Output:

Enter sentence: just testing

The sentence entered is 12 characters long.
