Anything bad about using char [] in functions?

hi, for this function:
If I''m not mistaken, that''s the same as using a char* as the argument.
I don''t recommend doing this, as it''s very easy to make mistakes (off-by-1 errors, forgetting a ''\0'', null-pointers, etc.). As long as the string is null-terminated, though, you should be okay.

If you''re programming in C++, you should generally use the standard C++ std::string type. If you''re programming in C, you don''t have much of a choice.
