Define and write syntax of strlen()
Short answer
strlen() from <string.h> returns the number of characters in a string, excluding the terminating null character. Its syntax is: size_t strlen(const char *str);
Define and write syntax of strlen().
strlen() is a library function of <string.h> that returns the number of characters in a string, not counting the terminating null character '\0'.
Syntax: size_t strlen(const char *str);
Example: strlen("Nepal") returns 5.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(void)
{
char s[] = "Nepal";
size_t n = strlen(s);
printf("Length of \"%s\" = %zu\n", s, n);
return 0;
}
Output: Length of "Nepal" = 5
