A basic_string is guaranteed to be specializable for any type with a char_traits struct to accompany it. As of C++11, only char, wchar_t, char16_t and char32_t specializations are required to be implemented. A basic_string is also a Standard Library container, and thus the Standard Library algorithms can be applied to the code units in strings.
Type conversion. In computer science, type conversion, [1] [2] type casting, [1] [3] type coercion, [3] and type juggling [4] [5] are different ways of changing an expression from one data type to another. An example would be the conversion of an integer value into a floating point value or its textual representation as a string, and vice versa.
The type of the first string is the usual const char[]. The type of the second string is const char16_t[] (note lower case 'u' prefix). The type of the third string is const char32_t[] (upper case 'U' prefix). When building Unicode string literals, it is often useful to insert Unicode code points directly into the string. To do this, C++11 ...
Definitions [ edit] A string is defined as a contiguous sequence of code units terminated by the first zero code unit (often called the NUL code unit). [1] This means a string cannot contain the zero code unit, as the first one seen marks the end of the string. The length of a string is the number of code units before the zero code unit. [1]
sizeof. sizeof is a unary operator in the programming languages C and C++. It generates the storage size of an expression or a data type, measured in the number of char -sized units. Consequently, the construct sizeof (char) is guaranteed to be 1.
In the C programming language, an escape sequence is specially delimited text in a character or string literal that represents one or more other characters to the compiler. It allows a programmer to specify characters that are otherwise difficult or impossible to specify in a literal. An escape sequence starts with a backslash ( \) called the ...
find_character(string,char) returns integer Description Returns the position of the start of the first occurrence of the character char in string. If the character is not found most of these routines return an invalid index value – -1 where indexes are 0-based, 0 where they are 1-based – or some value to be interpreted as Boolean FALSE.
History. Bjarne Stroustrup, the creator of C++, wrote the first version of the stream I/O library in 1984, as a type-safe and extensible alternative to C's I/O library. The library has undergone a number of enhancements since this early version, including the introduction of manipulators to control formatting, and templatization to allow its use with character types other than char.
