Indexing a String
We can access the elements of a string
(which are char
s) using indexing with square brackets []
just like we would do with an array. Using that, we can also replace a character at a given position.
With that indexing, you can try to access a wrong index (that is out of range), and the compiler will tell you nothing about that.
main
#include <iostream> int main() { std::string word = "Codefinity"; std::cout << word[12]; // Word's length is 10 }
As you can see, the output is weird, and C++ did not warn you about the problem (as always...). To avoid it, you can get the length of a string
using the .length()
method and ensure your index is smaller than the length of your string.
main
#include <iostream> int main() { std::string word = "Codefinity"; int index = 12; if (index >= word.length()) std::cout << "The output is unexpected!" << std::endl; else std::cout << word[index]; // Word's length is 10 }
Another way of indexing is using the .at()
method. To get the character with index n
, we can use the following syntax:
It works the same as str[n]
but will raise an error if you specify an index that is out of range.
main
#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { string word = "Codefinity"; cout << word.at(12); // word's length is 10 return 0; }
Try outputting the character with the index 5
in the code window above.
Let's sum up what we used in this chapter:
Practice
As was said before, we can replace the characters inside a string using indexing (both with []
and .at()
). Here is an example:
main
#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { string word = "Cpdefinitu"; word[1] = 'o'; word.at(word.length()-1) = 'y'; // length-1 accesses the last element cout << word; return 0; }
Tarefa
Your task is to check if we can add characters to the end of a string that way.
- Figure the index of the last character in a string.
- Assign
'y'
to the index index of last character + 1 ofstr
.
