Examples:
Input: str = "Geeks" Output: Length of Str is : 4 Input: str = "GeeksforGeeks" Output: Length of Str is : 13
In the below program, to find the length of the string str, first the string is taken as input from the user using scanf in 
, and then the length of Str is calculated using 
and using 
method .
Below is the C program to find the length of the string.
Example 1: Using loop to calculate the length of string.
// C program to find the length of string#include <stdio.h>#include <string.h> int main(){ char Str[1000]; int i; printf("Enter the String: "); scanf("%s", Str); for (i = 0; Str[i] != '\0'; ++i); printf("Length of Str is %d", i); return 0;} |
Enter the String: Geeks Length of Str is 5
Example 2: Using strlen() to find the length of the string.
// C program to find the length of // string using strlen function#include <stdio.h>#include <string.h> int main(){ char Str[1000]; int i; printf("Enter the String: "); scanf("%s", Str); printf("Length of Str is %ld", strlen(Str)); return 0;} |
Enter the String: Geeks Length of Str is 5
