Quick C Tricks - Explicit Declaration Of String Terminator Byte

In C a string is an array of single characters terminated by the NUL-value ('\0'). I came across the following notation to clearly communicate this fact:

// declaring a 10 byte long string buffer which 
// will be later terminated by '\0'
char myString[10+1];

Of couse I could have written the above line like this:

// same thins as above but not that obvious
char myString[11];

It's a cosmetical thing - but they help to improve the readability of your code.
