String Manipulation Functions

1. Concatenation

 Combines two strings into one.


 Syntax:

string result = str1 + str2; // Using '+' operator


str1 += str2; // Append str2 to str1

 Example:

string str1 = "Hello, ";


string str2 = "World!";
string result = str1 + str2; // "Hello, World!"
str1 += "C++"; // "Hello, C++"

2. Substring

 Extracts a portion of a string.


 Syntax:

string substr = str.substr(start, length);

 Example:

string str = "Hello, World!";


string substr = str.substr(7, 5); // "World"

3. Find

 Locates the position of a substring or character.


 Syntax:

size_t pos = str.find("substring");


size_t pos = str.find('c');

 Example:

string str = "Hello, World!";


size_t pos = str.find("World"); // 7
if (pos != string::npos) {
cout << "Found at position " << pos;
}
4. Insert

 Inserts a substring into the string.


 Syntax:

str.insert(position, "substring");

 Example:

string str = "Hello!";


str.insert(5, ", World"); // "Hello, World!"

5. Erase

 Removes part of the string.


 Syntax:

str.erase(start, length);

 Example:

string str = "Hello, World!";


str.erase(5, 7); // "Hello!"

6. Compare

 Compares two strings lexicographically.


 Syntax:

int result = str1.compare(str2);

Returns 0 if str1 == str2.


o
Returns <0 if str1 < str2.
o
Returns >0 if str1 > str2.
o
 Example:

string str1 = "abc";


string str2 = "def";
int result = str1.compare(str2); // -1 (since "abc" < "def")

7. Replace
 Replaces a portion of the string with another substring.
 Syntax:

str.replace(start, length, "new substring");

 Example:

string str = "Hello, World!";


str.replace(7, 5, "C++"); // "Hello, C++!"

8. Length

 Returns the number of characters in the string.


 Syntax: size_t len = str.length();
 Example: string str = "Hello!";

size_t len = str.length(); // 6

9. Empty

 Checks if the string is empty.


 Syntax: bool isEmpty = str.empty();
 Example:

string str = "";


if (str.empty()) {
cout << "String is empty!";
}

10. Swap

 Swaps the contents of two strings.


 Syntax: str1.swap(str2);
 Example:

string str1 = "Hello";


string str2 = "World";
str1.swap(str2); // str1 = "World", str2 = "Hello"
