C++ How to Program, 10/e

21.14 Wrap-Up

This chapter discussed the details of C++ Standard Library class string. We discussed assigning, concatenating, comparing, searching and swapping strings. We also introduced a number of member functions to determine string characteristics, to find, replace and insert characters in a string, and to convert strings to pointer-based strings and vice versa. You learned about string iterators and performing input from and output to strings in memory. Finally, we introduced functions for converting numeric values to strings and for converting strings to numeric values. In the next chapter, we introduce structs, which are similar to classes, and discuss the manipulation of bits, characters and C strings.
