string (<string>)
A type that describes a specialization of the template class basic_string with elements of type char as a string.
typedef basic_string<char, char_traits<char>, allocator<char> > string;
Example
// string_string.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
int main( )
{
using namespace std;
// Equivalent ways to declare an object
// of type basic_string <char>
const basic_string <char> s1 ( "test" );
string s2 ( "test" ); // Uses the typedef for string
// comparison between two objects of type basic_string
if ( s1 == s2 )
cout << "The strings s1 & s2 are equal." << endl;
else
cout << "The strings s1 & s2are not equal." << endl;
}
The strings s1 & s2 are equal.
