Usually, this question isn't necessary. But, you wrote char *text; //string Character is character how it can be string? In C, string is array of characters. So, it should be char *text[10], shouldn't it? In C++, we can directly use string type.

I use C99, a version of C. char * in itself isn't a string but somewhat acts like one when something is initialized in it and maybe even inputted. string is not a thing in C.

@Istiak‭ Actually, it's a little bit more complicated than that. A pointer to some type T is, let's say, "interchangeable" with an array of T (actually, the pointer points to the array's first element). In C, a string is actually an array of chars (terminated by \0), so a char * (a pointer to a char) can be used as if it were an array of char (thus, both are also called "string", although there's no such thing as a string type in C)

If we're meant to be pedantic/technically accurate, we'd never call it "string", but if you call it that way, people - at least anyone familiar with the language - will usually know that you actually mean "a contiguous sequence of chars terminated by the null character (\0)" (regardless of how it's being represented - either by an array of char or by a char *). Maybe this could help you to understand better: http://c-faq.com/aryptr/aryptr2.html

hkotsubo‭, the libc functions dealing with char*/char[] are called strcmp, strlen, etc... Note the "str". The related header file is called string.h. The documentation regarding these functions talks about strings. I don't think we need to be pedantic here. The emphasis should rather be on not confusing char*/char[]-based strings with other string types (such as C++ std::string, or MS' CString, for example; which of course are also sequences of characters).
