Line 3: == Representation in programming languages == A common representation is an [[array]] of ~~characters~~[[character code]]s, occupying one [[byte]] (e.g. in [[ASCII]] code) or two bytes (e.g. in [[unicode]]) each. The length can be stored implicitly by using a special terminating character (often [[NUL]], ASCII code 0) -- the [[C programming language]] uses this convention -- or explicitly, for example by prefixing the string with integer value (convention used in [[Pascal programming language\|Pascal]]). Here is an example of a NUL terminated string stored in a 10 [[Integral data types\|byte]] buffer, along with its ASCII representation:
