Is there a reason strings are preferred? My understanding is that you can set up a char *array[n size] and achieve similar results?

[@ProfessorHankStalica]

Strings are easier to work with than arrays of characters. For one example, a < b is easier than strcmp(a, b) or a + b as opposed to strcat(a, b).
Stuff like that.

This is in C++. But what happens when a CSV file created by C++ contains strings, the store space is incremented by one per each string ?
How Python read the CSV created before? It takes account of the \0 last character?

[@ProfessorHankStalica]

A CSV file is just a text file formatted a certain way. Either don't write \0 to the file or have your Python program deal with it when it reads the CSV file.

@@ProfessorHankStalica As you said a string created in C++, have a char \0 at the end => length+1 right?
A string created in Python length = length right?
CSV is a text file => 1 char = 1 byte then a CSV file created with C++ will have a char added to each string right?
Then how I have to save the string to don't include a char \0 added from C++?
Thank you!
