Why do I get garbage value when output character array to console?

Question

I always get a garbage value like this \'Íýýýý««««««««îþîþ\' at the end when i output my array. What am I doing wrong?

void func()
{
    const int size = 100

Because you don't null terminate your buffer, std::cout.operator<<(char*) will try to find \0 as its terminating character.

As pointed out in comments, feel free to append that \0 to the end of your buffer :).
