I read that C strings are null terminated whereas C++ strings are not.
Which leads me to ask, is there any difference between C++ and ObjC
strings?
You need to speak more precisely when talking about strings. There
are a few different things that people refer to as strings - even
within the context of one language.
In C, strings are arrays of characters terminated by null.
In C++ and ObjC, the same "C strings" exist as well, but there are
also string objects - instances of a string class. In C++, the class
is usually "string" and in ObjC, the class is usually NSString.
