@xploreraj Relying on (char)0 to be printed is generally a bad idea. I believe it's the null character, which is not printable according to ASCII. (See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_character: "it does nothing (some terminals, however, incorrectly display it as space)".)

The point is that the array should be filled with whitespaces and not '\0'. I've raised the issue, now I'll let you decide if you want to consider this as a problem. | |

| Apr 8, 2014 at 12:10 | comment | added | xploreraj | It works for "Hello Jack the Magnificient" because the character array will have length of 'Magnificient' as its the longest word and for other words, the remaining char array block will have default '\0' character which is not printed anyway. Please check. For second part, yes I agree, but just I'm able to leave trailing whitespace, I did that way. | |
