1.如果给cout提供一个字符的地址,则它将从该字符开始打印,直到遇到空字符为止。
2.如果给cout提供一个指针,它将打印地址。但如果指针的类型是char*,则cout将显示指向的字符串。如果要显示的是字符串的地址,则必须将这种指针强制转为另一种指针类型,如int*。因此,ps显示为字符串“fox”,而(int*)ps显示为该字符串的地址。
#include<iostream>
#include<cstring>
int main()
{
using namespace std;
char animal[20] = "bear";
const char* bird = "wren";
char * ps;
cout << animal << " and ";//display bear
cout << bird << "\n"//display wren
cout << "Enter a kind of animal: ";
cin >> animal:
ps = animal;
cout << ps << "!\n";
cout << "Before using strcpy():\n";
cout << animal << " at " << (int *)animal << endl;
cout << ps << " at "<< (int *)pa << endl;
return 0;
}
注意,将animal赋给ps并不会复制字符串,而是复制地址。这样,这两个指针将指向相同的内存单元和字符串。
运行结果如下:
bear and wren
Enter a kind of animal: fox
fox!
Before using strcpy():
fox at 0x0065fd30
fox at 0x0065fd30
