Default String Variables?

Hi Im new to C++
Have just learnt there is no string datatype
and instead char arrays are used.

Whats the best way to assign a string to a char array?

This is what im doing, not sure if theres an easier way?

Code:
char gtest[10];

strcpy(gtest,"test");
Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure C++ has a string type. The Objective-C string type is NSString. Plain old "C" uses char arrays (null terminated).

NSString *gtest = @"test";
