char * str can't store anything --it's just a pointer to a char. If you cout or printf(...) char *str it prints till it finds termination char '';

RE: What is the difference between char str, char *str...

char str is a char variable which is capable to store one character.
char *str is capable to store a string. its length can be fixed only at run time.
for eg.

char *str;

for(int p 0;s[p];p++)
putchar(str[p]);

in p we will have length of str
