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

Both the above answers are sufficient to solve your doubts. Increase the the length of both pal and pal1 by one as there there is no space for the assignment of the null character( '\0') at the end. However there is small trick to print the non null terminated character using printf

printf("strlen('%.*s'): %d\n",8, pal, lenPal);
printf("strlen('%.*s'): %d\n",7, pal1, lenPal1);
