#27060 — Strings vs Arrays and their use.

What is the main reason doing array manipulations versus string manipulations, are there less operations doing array manipulations?

When reading code i can think that there is a readability in doing string manipulations using variables rather than assigning the index of an array.

And also i wonder should one alway try do it directly between arrays?

for (i=0;i<length;i++){
         sum=arrOne[i]+arrTwo[i]+remainder;
         if (sum>=base) { sum=sum-base; remainder=1;} else {remainder=0;}
         result[i]=sum;
    }

Or this

for (i=0;i<length;i++){
         result[i]=arrOne[i]+arrTwo[i]+remainder;
         if (result[i]>=base) { result[i]=result[i]-base; remainder=1;} 
             else {remainder=0;}
    
    }

I prefer reading the above code, but maybe it use more operations?
