C program to find the length of a string

Given a string str. The task is to find the length of the string.

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 Str, and then the length of Str is calculated using loop and using strlen() method .

Below is the C program to find the length of the string.

    printf("Enter the String: ");
    scanf("%s", Str);
  
    for (i = 0; Str[i] != '\0'; ++i);
  
    printf("Length of Str is %d", i);
