How are strings like numeric arrays ?????
-
Like all numeric arrays, strings require a set number
of contiguous bytes of storage. In many aspects, they are the simplest of
arrays, since they require only one byte of storage per element. Therefore,
calculating the address of an individual element based on the offset from
the base address is relatively simple.
-
Consider the C code
The declaration:
- Reserves 5-bytes of RAM at address chararray.
- Initialized each element of the array with a character.
We could have also written the C code as:
Which would have Exactly the same effect
How would this be stored
in RAM ?????
