How do i declare a variable so that it can hold a string in c++.?
char a[35];


u can have that





and u can give an array














Char a = new char[566];
Reply:u can declare it either as an array or as an String oblect(string would be ur defined class)





to declare as an array u can use


char country_names[][10];





but better to use a user defined class String and create its object to store strings.write appropriate getters and setters.





i usually do it by keeping such type of classes in a custom .h file and include it in my code
