Over the tutorials or as you've been learning C++ you will probably
have come accross strings. This tutorial is for anyone who hasn't - strings
are very useful - they store strings of characters (hence the name), they
can be resized (unlike arrays of chars) and have a few functions that allow
them to be quite useful.
#include <string> // This includes the string class
/* As strings are in the namespace std you must either use std::string
or "using namespace std;" at the start of the document */
using namespace std;
string name = "Peter"; // Give the string some information
int main(){
name.length(); // Return's the string's length
name[2] = 'y'; // Changes the third character to 'y' (starts at 0)
name.push_back('c'); // Adds one character to the end - c
name.append(" surname"); // Adds the text to the string
cout << "My name is " << name ; // Displays the string
return 0;
}
