Character Array

#1

Why

char a[5];
cin>>a;
cout<<a;

Input
abcdef

Output
abcdef

why the 6th element is also printing and is there any importance of size in character Array?

@Gurjot if you are storing elements beyond the array size, there is no guarantee whether they’ll get overwritten or not. It might even overwrite some other data without your knowledge, So NEVER store any data beyond the array size.
