passing strings to funcation in c pro.
the strings are treated as charactor arrays in c and therefore the rules for passing string to functions are very similar to those for passing arrays to funcations.
basic rules are:
1>> the string to be passed must beclared as a formal argument of the funcation when it is defined exampl
void display(char item_name[ ])
{
................................
.................................
}
2>>the funcation prototype must show that the argument is a string. for the above funcation definition , the prototype can be written as
void display(char str[ ]);
3>>a call to the funcation must have a string array name without subscripts as its actual argument example:
display(name);
where names is a properly declared string array in the calling funcation .
we must note here that , link arrays , strings in c cannot be passed by value to funcations.
