int main() {
    // Step 1: Declare and initialize a string
    char greeting[] = "Hello, C!";

    // Step 2: Print the string
    printf("The string is: %s\n", greeting);

    // Step 3: Demonstrate null termination (optional)
    // Note: %s format specifier prints characters until a null terminator is found.
    printf("First character: %c\n", greeting[0]);
    printf("Character at index 6: %c\n", greeting[6]); // This is ' ' (space)
    printf("Character at index 9 (null terminator): %d\n", greeting[9]); // ASCII value of '\0' is 0
    
    return 0;
