Just stringing

you along…
Without knowing it, you’ve been
using objects in your previous C++
class

String #include <string> 🡪 pulls in the


string class definition so that you
datatype can work with strings.

String class includes many functions


(methods) that allow you to
manipulate string data
How to call String functions
#include <string>
string myString;

General syntax:
stringVarName.stringFunctionName()

Example:
myString.length()
String functions (length)
myString.length() 🡪 Returns the length of the string in myString

string firstName = “David”;


cout << “First name has “ << firstName.length() << “ letters.”;

First name has 5 letters.


String functions (find)
myString.find(str) 🡪 Returns the first position where the string str is
found in myString

string fullName = “Elon Musk”;


int position = fullName.find(“Musk”);
cout << “Musk starts at position “ << position);

Musk starts at position 5


String functions (find at example)
myString.find(str, p) 🡪 Returns the first position at or beyond position
p where the string str is found in myString

string sentence = “strings can be fun!”;


index = sentence.find(“s”);
findThe2ndS = sentence.find(“s”, index + 1);
cout << “The 2nd S was found at position “ << findThe2ndS;

The 2nd S was found at position 6


String functions (SUBSTRing)
myString.substr(p, n) 🡪 Returns a copy of a substring. The substring is n
characters long and begins at position p of myString

string loginName = “david.ray@jcjc.edu”;


index = loginName.find(“.”); 🡪 index = 5
firstName = loginName.substr(0, index); 🡪 firstName = david
index = loginName.find(“.”, ++index); 🡪 index = 14
extension = loginName.substr(index + 1, 3); 🡪 extension = edu

cout << firstName << “ has an email address with an extension of “ << extension;

david has an email address with an extension of edu
