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?
Yes. They're completely different.
The only things that they have in common is that they're containers
for characters. My two favorite differences:
1) ObjC objects != C++ objects. They're two completely independent
architectures.
2) C++ strings are always editable. ObjC strings come in standard
(immutable) flavors and mutable (i.e. editable).
since they're really completely different implementations of a text
container, there's no point in carrying on this comparison though.
It's like asking about the difference between the Bible and Inside
Macintosh. Both are books (or book series) that define the
foundations for something, and both are rather long, but that's about
it about the similarities.
