If we want to read a line from keyboard and to print it on the screen
- We can use scanf or getline, because in the case that no space is given to store the result, both functions automatically allocate memory.
- We use getline to read it and printf to print it. The memory allocated by getline is automatically managed by the operating system.
- We use getline to read it , printf to print it and free to deallocate the memory allocated by getline.
If we want to print the memory address where is stored the string char cadena[100];, we will use:
- You cannot print the memory address of a string.
- printf("%s\n",cadena);
- printf("%p\n",cadena);
We want to print the string char string[30]; with the printf function:
- We do not have to inicialize string.
- The string MUST include the '\0' termination char. If not, the program may produce a segmentation fault.
- We can use string.printf("%s");
