String is longer than expected in C

Question

Here\'s my code

#include 
#include 

int main(){
    char pal[8] = \"ciaooaic\";
    char pal1[7] = \"ciaoaic\";
    int lenPa         


        

Answer 1

You have not kept space for the NULL terminating character \0.

Either increase the size of the array by 1

char pal[9] = "ciaooaic";
char pal1[8] = "ciaoaic";

OR

Do not specify the length at all

char pal[] = "ciaooaic";
char pal1[] = "ciaoaic";
