Those of you familiar with the intricate workings of WordPress will know that the database holds everything — all the content, all the comments, all the configuration data.

Inserting Inserting characters into an existing string can be done via the insert() function. Here’s a crazy version of insert() that allows you to insert a substring into a string at an arbitrary index: There is a flavor of insert() that inserts the first portion of a C-style string: There’s …
Appending Appending strings to the end of an existing string is easy using either operator+=, append(), or push_back(). There’s also a flavor of append() that can append a substring: Operator+= and append() also have versions that work on C-style strings: There is an additional flavor of append() that works on …

Once you’ve created strings, it’s often useful to know how long they are. This is where length and capacity operations come into play. We’ll also discuss various ways to convert std::string back into C-style strings, so you can use them with functions that expect strings of type char*. Length of …
In this lesson, we’ll take a look at how to construct objects of std::string, as well as how to create strings from numbers and vice-versa. String construction The string classes have a number of constructors that can be used to create strings. We’ll take a look at each of them …
The standard library contains many useful classes — but perhaps the most useful is std::string. std::string (and std::wstring) is a string class that provides many operations to assign, compare, and modify strings. In this chapter, we’ll look into these string classes in depth. Note: C-style strings will be referred to …
Now that you’ve learned some basics about programs, let’s look more closely at how to design a program. When you sit down to write a program, generally you have some kind of idea, which you’d like to write a program for. New programmers often have trouble figuring out how to …
