Not necessarily, however you can declare a character array of fixed length which can be used as a string. LIKE: char* s = "hello this is string";

Describing length of the string during declaration plus initialization statement is optional one. eg, char s ="hai"; or char s ="hai";

Not necessarily required although it's good practice to assign size ie. Char string="1234"

No. A string can be declared either char str or char *str. The second one is a string declaration without assignment. A string can be initialized as below: char str = {'h','e','l','l','o'}; (or) char str = "hello"; (or) char *str = "hello";

char s ; is the size/length of array s & you can put value 0-3.
