Re: Is there an end of string like in C

In C, there is an end of string character ('\0'). Is there one in Ada?

No, this is a C specialty - and also a typical nuisance of C...
In Ada you know the array bounds, and a string is an array of Character.

Can you give me code that checks for it in an array?

s'Length give you the string length, without any loop, or the risk of a missing end-of-string character.

Thank you,
