Chapter 12
Strings
Abstract
This chapter explains how to use and manipulate strings in C. The standard C functions are shown copying, comparing, breaking up, and searching strings.
Input and output are shown using both traditional and newer techniques. Conversions of numbers to and from strings are also a part of this chapter. Testing and manipulating characters in strings and the required standard C functions are shown. Constant strings kept in program memory on microcontrollers are described. Multi-byte character sets such as Unicode are briefly introduced.
Examples and exercises are for the popular PIC™ microcontroller manufactured by Microchip.
