In [[C Plus Plus|C++]] programming language, C strings are used in coordination with another representation of character sequences, the [[Standard Template Library|STL]] ([[ANSI]] standard C++) strings. Thus, it is important to differentiate between the traditional "C strings" and on the other hand the more advanced "strings" that are [[object (object-oriented programming)|object]]s of the STL ''string'' [[class (computer science)|class]].

C strings are exactly equivalent to the strings created by the .ASCIZ directive implemented by the [[PDP-11]] and [[VAX]] [[Assembly language|macroassembly languages]].
