returning string

[hurricane123]

I wanna know how 2 return string by using function for example if we want to check the lenght of string we use cout<<strlen("c") but how to use this by fuction

[Software guy]

#include<iostream>
#include<string.h>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
  char x[] = {"hello"};

  cout<<strlen(x);


 return 0;
}

Use C++ string, they are better, and more stable.

#include <string>
#include <iostream>

int main (void) {
  std::string strFirst;
  std::cin >> strFirst;
  std::cout << strFirst.size ();

  return 0;
}

C-strings have been around a lot longer than the C++ string class -- therefore they are quite stable...

Yes, they have been a lot longer out there, but I'm not at all a big fan of NULL terminated strings.

int stringLength(char *s)
{
int a = 0;
while(*s!='/0')
{
a++;
}
//string length given in a
return a;
}
