如何在 C 编程语言中创建自定义数据类型字符串？

Question

I want to create a custom data type String. With that data type I want to use code like below:

#include <stdio.h>

void main(void)
{
    String name = "MD A Barik";
    printf("%s", name);
}

How may I implement String datatype in C programming languages!

Answer 1

A bunch of ways!

1. Study C for many years well enough to write your own elaborate set of functions and structures (but not classes), such that you create something more or less useful for you, but that nobody else will ever be able to use.

2. Switch to C++.

3. Wish upon a star.

Really, as comments above have noted, C does not support this and there's simply no way to pretend that it does. Efforts such as my #1 above would be a huge amount of work, and entirely counterproductive.

It's a totally fair question to wish for, but you really need to take "no" for an answer here.

Answer 2

typedef char* String;

or just use char* directly.

char* name = "MD A Barik";

You should be aware that this String behaves very differently than the std::string of c++. eg in c++ you can add two strings to concatenate, in C, you need to use strcat
