Data Structures: Arrays and Character Strings

This lecture delves into the study of arrays and character strings, focusing on fixed-size arrays and the concept of character strings as a homogeneous collection of character data. The instructor covers the differences between fixed-size arrays and dynamic arrays, emphasizing the limitations of fixed-size arrays and the advantages of dynamic arrays. Additionally, the lecture explores the manipulation of character strings, including functions for character conversion and the use of string views. A case study is presented, involving the coding of functionalities to encode and decode barcodes, highlighting the importance of testing strategies and handling edge cases in programming.
