  • Thank you, your solution is what I was looking for. However I don't know if "learn c++ first" was very constructive. Arduino is meant to be standalone, for education, and is many people's first intro into programming. I also just thought I would add in a link to an article that explained in depth and helped me understand about strings, character arrays, and managing memory usage effectively.

  • @justincs I think the idea that Arduino is meant to be standalone is problematic; the language used is C++, one needs to know enough C++ to use the Arduino, hiding that fact or pretending it doesn't matter/exist does a disservice to the users. It just makes things more confusing; there is simplification, and there is oversimplification! Users now have two problems: their original problem, and learning to program at the same time; this does more harm than good IMHO. Commented May 16, 2019 at 23:32
