C arrays are 0 indexed, accordingly writing to array[255] actually writes to the 256th position, which is naturally out of bounds of a 255 item array. increasing the size of the array to 256 corrects that error. Also, 0 is an int and requires a cast into a char, '\0' is just a cleaner (a more syntactically pedantic) way to achieve the same end.
