I forgot to putt \0 and now my bank account is empty

[@juanpedraw4245]

I want to make a game, and I'm pushing myself to watch your videos to learn. Thank you very much for keeping these lessons free.

[@xanxusgrim3047]

Please put more ads on your vids i'd gladly watch them =) you are a great person

[@DTWINING]

Thanks! I needed this while trying to learn something new when social distancing during the virus. Your vids explain things I think a lot of people with programming experience takes for granted.

[@kyleeames8229]

Almost all modern systems have protected memory so you don't need to worry about a character pointer going and "hacking your bank account". It will however, clobber your programs memory and likely cause your program to crash.

[@tiagodmota5840]

Oh, yeah? Protected? So I want to break it, get access to bank accounts and get huge money by reporting issues B-)

[@hetaeramancer]

It depends on the program silly

[@PunmasterSTP]

Null? More like Full...of wonderful information! Thanks again for every single one of these videos Caleb!

[@dayanitheebalaji7695]

when we give like char a[10] = "hello" then the compiler inserts null at the end of a string , what if we get the size of string from the user and dynamically allocate memory in the runtime like char * a = (char*)malloc(sizeof(char) * n) here who is assigning null at the end of a string ,,,,, i mean who is doing that job????

[@yasserj3693]

Thank you so much my exam is after few hours I saw most of your viedoes it was very helpful and simple man YOU ARE INCREDIBLE
keep up

[@PunmasterSTP]

How did your exam go?

[@yasserj3693]

@@PunmasterSTP I’ve got D 😭

[@PunmasterSTP]

@@yasserj3693 I'm sorry to hear that! How are the rest of your classes going/how did they go?

[@laubes7481]

this guy is awesome keep up the good work Caleb I am learning a lot as a first-year CS student.

[@_d4r1o_22]

I like the sarcasm 🤣

[@PedroMesquitadaConceicao]

actually, there's a difference between NULL and nul. The nul terminator is to indicate the end of a string in C. Not Null...

[@Konslufius]

"If you create a char array with 5 characters, the size will be 6"
Print it out and stick it to every wall you can find. As a beginner in C, I learned the hard way that strlen() is lying to you.

[@giorgosntzoganis9184]

dude, how can i give you my money?

[@faheemahmed7426]

Hey Caleb, just wanted to say I appreciate your effort you put into these videos, you don't understand how much it helps people like us new to the programming scene. Much love wishing you all the best!

[@tbatana]

int a=100;
printf("%d%% agree", a);😎

[@tomryder4093]

[@Msvinodsaini]

Excellent work....

[@hannahvaziri5895]

do you have any examples of c programming?

[@PunmasterSTP]

What types of examples? If you've watched all of the previous videos in the playlist so far, he's worked through several "example" programs.

[@shiyammusicmad7667]

WHAT IS THE USE OF THE NULL STRING

[@louisdasselaar7806]

it stops the string

[@londonsystem6622]

The Best

[@masExz]

omg this actually just solved my problem right now, ty bro!

[@raniamecheref5690]

thank uu so muchh brooo

[@bigfella9745]

Caleb thank you so much for this video perfectly explained this

[@dineshdina4293]

Will '0x00' act as a null terminator for character arrays?

[@jerfersonmatos28]

Is it valid on C++?

[@tiagodmota5840]

Depende kkkk Tem que ver a sintaxe do C++, é bem diferente em vários aspectos.

[@zngods]

Im confused i dont get anything like how do i see through these NULL ?

[@cesarislas7130]

There are two types of strings:
array one is like { char str[ ] = {'H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', ' ', 'W', 'o', 'r', 'l', 'd', '\0'} }
We have also literal string { char str[ ] = "Hello World"; }
In the direct one we don't have to write the null character, the same thing for loop through strings.
And you don't see it, The computer will understand it and compile.
