std::basic_string::operator[](3) | C++ Standard Libary | std::basic_string::operator[](3) |
NAME¶
std::basic_string::operator[] - std::basic_string::operator[]
Synopsis¶
reference operator[]( size_type pos ); (until C++20)
constexpr reference operator[]( size_type pos ); (since C++20)
const_reference operator[]( size_type pos ) (1) (until C++20)
const; (2)
constexpr const_reference operator[]( size_type (since C++20)
pos ) const;
Returns a reference to the character at specified location pos. No bounds
checking
is performed. If pos > size(), the behavior is undefined.
1) If pos == size(), the behavior is undefined.
2) If pos == size(), a reference to the character with value CharT()
(until C++11)
(the null character) is returned.
If pos == size(), a reference to the character with value CharT() (the
null character) is returned.
(since C++11)
For the first (non-const) version, the behavior is undefined if this
character is modified to any value other than CharT() .
Parameters¶
pos - position of the character to return
Return value¶
Reference to the requested character.
Complexity¶
Constant.
Example¶
// Run this code
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
int main()
{
std::string const e("Exemplar");
for (unsigned i = e.length() - 1; i != 0; i /= 2)
std::cout << e[i];
std::cout << '\n';
const char* c = &e[0];
std::cout << c << '\n'; // print as a C string
//Change the last character of s into a 'y'
std::string s("Exemplar ");
s[s.size()-1] = 'y'; // equivalent to s.back() = 'y';
std::cout << s << '\n';
}
Output:¶
rmx
Exemplar
Exemplary
