# Should I put '\0' in my C strings?

Should I put '\0' in my C strings?

## Answers

### Answer by Ravi Vishwakarma

'\0' is zero character. In C it is mostly used to indicate the termination of a character string. Of course it is a regular character and may be used as such but this is rarely the case. your string is automatically add the null-terminated(or ends with \0 ) at the end of string, but you add no effect on code.
