Solution 1

There is no difference. '\0' and 0 are just different ways of expressing zero.
The choice between them is a matter of coding style.
The '\0' form is more clearly a character value, but the compiled code would be identical.

Solution 2

They are equivalent. Moreover they are equvalent to

C

text[i]

It depends on your personal taste.
A developer used to C++ would probably use the second one.
