string test1 = "abcdefghi";

// we can output strings using cout and <<

cout << test1 << endl;

// output the size of the string (i.e. number of characters)

cout << "size: " << test1.size() << endl;

// we can access individual characters at each index in the string with []

// and .at()

cout << "test1[1]: " << test1[1] << endl;

// we can modify individual characters in the string with the [] syntax too

// there are several ways to concatenate and append strings

test1 = test1 + "jklmnop";

// we can concatenate string variables, not just string literals

// we can convert values like ints and doubles to strings using to_string()

string test4 = to_string(-10.5);

// we can convert double values to strings using stod(), other functions

// exist to convert other types as well

double number = stod(test4);

// many functions exist for working with strings, for example we can

// extract a substring from a string using substr, which in this case

// extracts 4 characters starting from the character at index 2 (i.e. "test")

string test5 = "A test string";

string sub = test5.substr(2,4);

cout << "sub: " << sub << endl;

// we can store use input into a string type variable, for example a name

string name;

cout << "Enter name: ";

// will only store the string up until the first space character, so a

// name like 'kevin browne' will only be stored as 'kevin' into name

//cin >> name;

// will store the string up until the first newline character into name,

// so a name like 'kevin browne' will be stored entirely

getline(cin, name);

// output the name

cout << "Name: " << name << endl;
