You cannot assume that a function parameter of type `string`
will have a terminating null character, but calling `printf`
with a string literal is fine:
printf("foobar\n"); // this will work since string literals
have have a terminating null character
OK, it makes sense that the null terminator would be added where
compatability with C is required.
Good to know.
