    I guess because it includes the null at the end; the terminating \0. By the way the correct way to get the length of string would be strlen() and not sizeof(); because sizeof will return the length of the array, not the string.

    C/C++ experts may offer better help.

    The sizeof() function provides the size of the data type in bytes. The character array consist of a terminating character '\0' (hence name[5]='\0') (as told by #-Link-Snipped-# ) and since each char value occupies a space of one byte, hence the result is 6 ... 6 bytes.

    And again as #-Link-Snipped-# said, if you want the length of the string use strlen() function. Then you would get the answer as 5.

    Yes it is the null character assumed to be appended at the end of the string ....
