/* C program to find the length of a string without using the built-in function */

#include <stdio.h>

void main()
{
char string[50];
int  i, length = 0;

printf(“Enter a string\n”);
gets(string);

for (i=0; string[i] != ‘\0′; i++) /*keep going through each */
{                                 /*character of the string */
length++;                     /*till its end */
}
printf(“The length of a string is the number of characters in it\n”);
printf(“So, the length of %s =%d\n”, string, length);
}

/*—————————————————-
Output
Enter a string
hello
The length of a string is the number of characters in it
So, the length of hello = 5

RUN2
Enter a string
E-Commerce is hot now
The length of a string is the number of characters in it
So, the length of E-Commerce is hot now =21
