String **literals** have a terminating null character, to help 
with integrating with C functions. But this null character will 
disappear when manipulating strings.

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
