Parameters

left
A C-style string or an object of type basic_string to be concatenated.

right
A C-style string or an object of type basic_string to be concatenated.

Return Value

The string that is the concatenation of the input strings.

Remarks

The functions each overload operator+ to concatenate two objects of class template basic_string Class. All effectively return basic_string< CharType, Traits, Allocator>(Left).append(right). For more information, see append.

Example

// string_op_con.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <string>
#include <iostream>

int main( )
{
   using namespace std;
   // Declaring an object of type basic_string<char>
   string s1 ( "anti" );
   string s2 ( "gravity" );
   cout << "The basic_string s1 = " << s1 << "." << endl;
   cout << "The basic_string s2 = " << s2 << "." << endl;

   // Declaring a C-style string
   char *s3 = "heroine";
   cout << "The C-style string s3 = " << s3 << "." << endl;

   // Declaring a character constant
   char c1 = '!';
   cout << "The character constant c1 = " << c1 << "." << endl;

   // First member function: concatenates an  object
   // of type basic_string with an object of type basic_string
   string s12 = s1 + s2;
   cout << "The string concatenating s1 & s2 is: " << s12 << endl;

   // Second & fourth member functions: concatenate an object
   // of type basic_string with an object of C-syle string type
   string s1s3 = s1 + s3;
   cout << "The string concatenating s1 & s3 is: " << s1s3 << endl;

   // Third & fifth member functions: concatenate an object
   // of type basic_string with a character constant
   string s1s3c1 = s1s3 + c1;
   cout << "The string concatenating s1 & s3 is: " << s1s3c1 << endl;
}
The basic_string s1 = anti.
The basic_string s2 = gravity.
The C-style string s3 = heroine.
The character constant c1 = !.
The string concatenating s1 & s2 is: antigravity
The string concatenating s1 & s3 is: antiheroine
The string concatenating s1 & s3 is: antiheroine!

operator!=

Tests if the string object on the left side of the operator is not equal to the string object on the right side.

template <class CharType, class Traits, class Allocator>
bool operator!=(
    const basic_string<CharType, Traits, Allocator>& left,
    const basic_string<CharType, Traits, Allocator>& right);

template <class CharType, class Traits, class Allocator>
bool operator!=(
    const basic_string<CharType, Traits, Allocator>& left,
const CharType* right);

template <class CharType, class Traits, class Allocator>
bool operator!=(
    const CharType* left,
    const basic_string<CharType, Traits, Allocator>& right);

Parameters

left
A C-style string or an object of type basic_string to be compared.

right
A C-style string or an object of type basic_string to be compared.

Return Value

true if the string object on the left side of the operator is not lexicographically equal to the string object on the right side; otherwise false.

Remarks

The comparison between string objects is based on a pairwise lexicographical comparison of their characters. Two strings are equal if they have the same number of characters and their respective character values are the same. Otherwise, they are unequal.

Example

// string_op_ne.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <string>

Remarks

The comparison between string objects is based on a pairwise lexicographical comparison of their characters. Two strings are equal if they have the same number of characters and their respective character values are the same. Otherwise, they are unequal.

Example

// string_op_eq.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc

true if the string object on the left side of the operator is lexicographically less than the string object on the right side; otherwise false.

Remarks

A lexicographical comparison between strings compares them character by character until:

  • It finds two corresponding characters unequal, and the result of their comparison is taken as the result of the comparison between the strings.

  • It finds no inequalities, but one string has more characters than the other, and the shorter string is considered less than the longer string.

  • It finds no inequalities and finds that the strings have the same number of characters, and so the strings are equal.

Example

// string_op_lt.cpp

#include <iostream>

int main( )
{
   using namespace std;

   // Second member function: comparison between left-hand object
   // of type basic_string & right-hand object of C-syle string type

   // of C-syle string type & right-hand object of type basic_string
   if ( s3 < s2 )
      cout << "The string s3 is less than the string s2." << endl;

operator>=

Tests if the string object on the left side of the operator is greater than or equal to the string object on the right side.

template <class CharType, class Traits, class Allocator>
bool operator>=(
    const basic_string<CharType, Traits, Allocator>& left,
    const basic_string<CharType, Traits, Allocator>& right);

template <class CharType, class Traits, class Allocator>

Parameters

left
A C-style string or an object of type basic_string to be compared.

right
A C-style string or an object of type basic_string to be compared.

Return Value

true if the string object on the left side of the operator is lexicographically greater than or equal to the string object on the right side; otherwise false.

Remarks

A lexicographical comparison between strings compares them character by character until:

  • It finds two corresponding characters unequal, and the result of their comparison is taken as the result of the comparison between the strings.

  • It finds no inequalities, but one string has more characters than the other, and the shorter string is considered less than the longer string.

  • It finds no inequalities and finds the strings have the same number of characters, and so the strings are equal.

The C-style string s3 = stricture.
The string s1 is less than the string s2.
The string s3 is greater than or equal to the string s1.
The string s2 is greater than or equal to the string s3.

operator>>

A template function that reads a string from an input stream.

template <class CharType, class Traits, class Allocator>
basic_istream<CharType, Traits>& operator>>(
    basic_istream<CharType, Traits>& _Istr,
    basic_string<CharType, Traits, Allocator>& right);

Parameters

_Istr
The input stream used to extract the sequence

right
The string that is being extracted from the input stream.

Return Value

Reads the value of the specified string from _Istr and returns it into right.

Remarks

The operator skips the leading white spaces unless the skipws flag is set. It reads all the following characters until the next character is a white space or the end of the file is reached.

The template function overloads operator>> to replace the sequence controlled by right with a sequence of elements extracted from the stream _Istr. Extraction stops:

  • At end of file.

  • After the function extracts _Istr. width elements, if that value is nonzero.

After the function extracts _Istr. max_size elements.

  • After the function extracts an element ch for which use_facet< ctype< CharType> >( getloc). is( ctype< CharType>:: space, ch) is true, in which case the character is put back.

If the function extracts no elements, it calls setstate(ios_base::failbit). In any case, it calls istr. width(0) and returns * this.

Example

// string_op_read_.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <string>
#include <iostream>

int main( )
{
   using namespace std;

   string c0;
   cout << "Input a string c0 ( try: Fibonacci numbers ): ";
   cin >> c0;
   cout << "The string entered is c0 = " << c0 << endl;
}
