Is there a way to choose the point in a char array to insert a string without deleting any existing elements of the char array?i.e to insert a string anywhere in the char array

No. Arrays don't have methods to insert things into them.
STL containers have such methods. This is one of the many reasons why they are preferred to raw arrays.
If you still need to work with raw array for some reason, you can write a function which does what you need, using additional variable to perform the copy in it. But the returned result will be a different array, not your original one.

how do i index different characters of a string?
Daniel Daranas
@newprogramer See cplusplus.com/reference/string/string, in particular cplusplus.com/reference/string/string/at and cplusplus.com/reference/string/string/operator[].
Create a std::string from the char array, use the insert() method on the string, then convert it back to a char array using the c_str() method
std::string::insertis: en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/string/basic_string/insert . (You would probably use overload #2, 3, or 4 on that page for this.)
