C++ Data Types
C++ Data Types
String
Typically, rather than dealing with individual characters, we want to work with complete words, sentences, and texts, which are composed of a sequence of characters.
One way to do that is to use an array of char
's like this:
main
#include <iostream> int main() { char word[10] = {'C', 'o', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'i', 'n', 'i', 't', 'y'}; std::cout << word << std::endl; }
You can see that initialization is quite tricky. Additionally, to add something to this text, you will need to redefine the array with more allocated memory. Fortunately, in C++, there is a string
class that makes this process much easier.
So you can assign to a string
any text within double quotes " "
. Also, adding more text to a string
is as easy as using the .append()
method. Here is an example:
main
#include <iostream> int main() { std::string word = "Codefinity"; std::cout << word << std::endl; word.append(".com"); std::cout << word << std::endl; }
Besides .append()
, there are many other methods of a string
to allow you efficiently operate with text data. Here is the table with some. They will be discussed in more detail in later chapters.
Tarea
- Create a string variable and store the name 'Alex' in it.
- Output its value to the console.
