C : create string in char array from concatenation

Question

I want to create a string in char array from concatenation in C
Example I want to do something similar to this

...
...
#define version "1.0"

char message[] = "Software version" + version + "\n"
...
...

Thanks

Get rid of the +s: consecutive string constants get concatenated by the compiler. — Kninnug

Preprocessor macros traditionally have all upper-case names, to distinguish them from e.g. variable and function names. — Some programmer dude

@JoachimPileborg I know But I decide to drop this because I love the camelCase and I hate too much underscores. — Hisoka Hunter

C has a feature to concatenate string literals during compilation, by just having white-space between the literals. Meaning you could do e.g.

char message[] = "Software version" version "\n"
