Example : A string program in C to check, count, and display no. of vowels, consonants, numbers, blank spaces, symbols, and other characters present in a string sentence.

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()

    printf("\nTotal no. of White/blank spaces are : %d", countb);
    printf("\nTotal no. of symbols & other characters are : %d", counts);

    getch();
}

NB : Here scanf("%[^\n]",str) is used in place of scanf("%s",str) because earlier is a kind of regular expression that matches a filled/nonempty sequence of characters from the received scanset of characters and read all the user inputs/larger character set/multiple word input until  we reached/added (\n) newline or pressed enter button/key and finally store it into the given variable of sufficient length.

Example : A string program in C to check whether the given string is palindrome or not.

#include <stdio.h>

    int status=0;
    
    printf("Enter a string value below 20 letters:");
    scanf("%s",str);
