4002-208 Prog. With Classes (In C++)

The document discusses methods of the C++ string class including length, operator+, at, find, and substr. It provides examples of using these methods to find characters in a string, break a string into smaller strings, and concatenate strings. The length and size methods return the number of characters in a string. The at method extracts a single character from a specified position. The find method locates a substring within a string. The substr method returns a new string containing part of the original string.

length Method
Purpose: method length gives the number of characters. Method size does the same. Parameters: none Returns: length as integer Notes
An empty string has length of 0. A string with length n has characters in positions 0..n-1.

Operator+
Adding together or concatenating strings Form: lhs + rhs Returns a string object whose contents are the combination of the content of lhs followed by those of rhs. Program: concat.cpp

at Method
Purpose: method at extracts one character from a string at the specified position between 0 and length( )1 Parameter:
Position in string to be extracted.

Returns: one character at specified position. Program: print_at.cpp

find Method
Purpose: method find finds first occurrence of a single character in a string Parameter: 1 parameter of type char
Character to be found in string

Returns: position of character in the string or -1 if not found Note: search begins at start of string Program: find.cpp
