Example Code: PIG

The source code for pig.c may be downloaded. The purpose of this program is to demonstrate the use of C strings of ASCII characters. Each string is "terminated" (i.e. ends) with a NUL character (which has the value 0x00).

You type> cat pig.c
main()
{
/* create an array of characters */
char str1[9];
str1[0]='p';
str1[1]='i';
str1[2]='g';
str1[3]=0;
printf("The animal is a %s\n",str1);
}

you type> cc -o pig pig.c
you type> pig
The animal is a pig

Now be sure to check "Dog" if you haven't already done so.
