basic_string::operator+=
Appends characters to a string.
basic_string<CharType, Traits, Allocator>& operator+=(
value_type _Ch
);
basic_string<CharType, Traits, Allocator>& operator+=(
const value_type* _Ptr
);
basic_string<CharType, Traits, Allocator>& operator+=(
const basic_string<CharType, Traits, Allocator>& _Right
);
Parameters
_Ch
The character to be appended._Ptr
The characters of the C-string to be appended._Right
The characters of the string to be appended.
Return Value
A reference to the string object that is being appended with the characters passed by the member function.
Remarks
Characters may be appended to a string using the operator+= or the member functions append or push_back. The operator+= appends single-argument values while the multiple argument append member function allows a specific part of a string to be specified for adding.
Example
// basic_string_op_app.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
int main( )
{
using namespace std;
// The first member function
// appending a single character to a string
string str1a ( "Hello" );
cout << "The original string str1 is: " << str1a << endl;
str1a += '!' ;
cout << "The string str1 appended with an exclamation is: "
<< str1a << endl << endl;
// The second member function
// appending a C-string to a string
string str1b ( "Hello " );
const char *cstr1b = "Out There";
cout << "The C-string cstr1b is: " << cstr1b << endl;
str1b += cstr1b;
cout << "Appending the C-string cstr1b to string str1 gives: "
<< str1b << "." << endl << endl;
// The third member function
// appending one string to another in two ways,
// comparing append and operator [ ]
string str1d ( "Hello " ), str2d ( "Wide " ), str3d ( "World" );
cout << "The string str2d is: " << str2d << endl;
str1d.append ( str2d );
cout << "The appended string str1d is: "
<< str1d << "." << endl;
str1d += str3d;
cout << "The doubly appended strig str1 is: "
<< str1d << "." << endl << endl;
}
The original string str1 is: Hello
The string str1 appended with an exclamation is: Hello!
The C-string cstr1b is: Out There
Appending the C-string cstr1b to string str1 gives: Hello Out There.
The string str2d is: Wide
The appended string str1d is: Hello Wide .
The doubly appended strig str1 is: Hello Wide World.
