Question

i was wondering if there is a way to define a datatype called string in c
say like
typedef char[some #] string;

but the above one doesnt work
so

is there any method like this?

use of structures is a waste of time

Answer 1

You can use string in C, just include the library string.h

Answer 2

Answer 3

Yeah, as I know you can write as follow :
#include<string.h>
#include<stdio.h>

int main(){
string name;
scanf("%s", &name);
}

Answer 4

Answer 5

i dont think ther's a datatype called string in c

Answer 6

Sorry, yes you are right. I get confused.
But like that it works.
#include<string.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

int main(){
char name[10];
scanf("%s", &name);
printf("%s\n", name);
system("pause");
}

Well like that it helps you to avoid the treatment of array of char.
