Is spacebar a character?

Question

Consider this line of text:

First line of text.

If a character array string is used to load the first TEN characters in the array it will output as:

First lin'\0'

First contains 5 letters, lin contains 3 letters. Where are the other two characters being used?

Is \0 considered two characters?

Or is the space between the words considered a character, thus '\0` is one character?

Answer 1

Yes, space is a character. In ASCII encoding it has code number 32.
