Re: [Dev-C++] const char * and char

A string is just an array of characters, so you just assign characters to
the array.

enum {
    MAX_INPUT_LEN = 200,
};
char my_string[MAX_INPUT_LEN];
int len = 0;
int ch = 0;

my_string[0] = '\0';
for (;;) {
    if (have_new_character()) {
        ch = get_next_character();
        if (len < MAX_INPUT_LEN) {
            my_string[len++] = ch;
            my_string[len] = '\0';
        }
    }
}

How to read from the keyboard will depend on the environment. A graphical
Windows application will get events for each character. A command-line
application may read from stdin. A MS-Dos application may use BIOS calls
for accessing keyboard input.
