Tsoding - C Strings are Terrible! - not beginner stuff
Again a great video from Tsoding about handling C strings.
I really like C strings and making functions manipulate C strings.

On “Dynamic help in C required”
…->start = 0;
s->length = len;
s->cap = len;
memcpy(s + 1, str, len);
return (s + 1);
}
This is one option, another is to have a custom string struct with everything, or you compile with g++ / compile it as a c++ source file using `std::string`
tsoding has a video on that, in general tsoding is great for C programming: link to this video…
