C++ String and C-string Built-in Functions with Examples
std::string: length()
Description: Returns the number of characters in the string.
Example:
std::string s = "Hello";
std::cout << s.length(); // Output: 5
std::string: append()
Description: Appends a string to the current string.
Example:
std::string s = "Hello";
s.append(" World");
std::cout << s; // Output: Hello World
std::string: substr()
Description: Returns a substring starting at a given position.
Example:
std::string s = "Hello World";
std::cout << s.substr(6, 5); // Output: World
std::string: find()
Description: Finds the first occurrence of a substring.
Example:
std::string s = "Hello World";
std::cout << s.find("World"); // Output: 6
std::string: compare()
Description: Compares two strings lexicographically.
Example:
std::string s1 = "apple", s2 = "banana";
std::cout << s1.compare(s2); // Output: negative number
cstring: strlen()
Description: Returns the length of a C-string.
Example:
