std::basic_string_view::at(3) C++ Standard Libary std::basic_string_view::at(3)

NAME

std::basic_string_view::at - std::basic_string_view::at

Synopsis


constexpr const_reference at( size_type pos ) const; (since C++17)


Returns a const reference to the character at specified location pos. Bounds
checking is performed, exception of type std::out_of_range will be thrown on invalid
access.

Parameters


pos - position of the character to return

Return value


Const reference to the requested character.

Exceptions


Throws std::out_of_range if pos >= size().

Complexity


Constant.

Example

// Run this code


#include <iostream>
#include <stdexcept>
#include <string_view>


int main()
{
std::string_view str_view("abcdef");


try
{
for (std::size_t i = 0; true; ++i)
std::cout << i << ": " << str_view.at(i) << '\n';
}
catch (const std::out_of_range& e)
{
std::cout << "Whooops. Index is out of range.\n";
std::cout << e.what() << '\n';
}
}

Possible output:


0: a
1: b
2: c
3: d
4: e
5: f
6: Whooops. Index is out of range.
basic_string_view::at: __pos (which is 6) >= this->size() (which is 6)
