What Size Does A String Variable Occupy ?

Question

If I declare a string name and do not assign anything to it , the sizeof operator returns size of 32 bytes , but what if I store a string greater than 32 characters in it ? Would it write the extra characters in some unreserved memory ?

Answer 1

string has internally array of chars which is resized every time you add element which goes beyond reserved memory. So string memory depends on number of elements it stores.
