C++ changes some C standard library functions to add additional overloaded functions with const type qualifiers, e.g. strchr returns char* in C, while C++ acts as if there were two overloaded functions const char *strchr(const char *) and a char *strchr(char *). In C23 generic selection is used to make C's behaviour more similar to C++'s. [11]
A basic_string is guaranteed to be specializable for any type with a char_traits struct to accompany it. As of C++11, only char, wchar_t, char16_t and char32_t specializations are required to be implemented. [16] A basic_string is also a Standard Library container, and thus the Standard Library algorithms can be applied to the code units in ...
Since C11 (and C++11), a new literal prefix u8 is available that guarantees UTF-8 for a bytestring literal, as in char foo [512] = u8 "φωωβαρ";. [7] Since C++20 and C23 , a char8_t type was added that is meant to store UTF-8 characters and the types of u8 prefixed character and string literals were changed to char8_t and char8_t ...
There are several loopholes to pure const-correctness in C and C++. They exist primarily for compatibility with existing code. The first, which applies only to C++, is the use of const_cast, which allows the programmer to strip the const qualifier, making any object modifiable. The necessity of stripping the qualifier arises when using existing ...
String homomorphisms are monoid morphisms on the free monoid, preserving the empty string and the binary operation of string concatenation. Given a language , the set () is called the homomorphic image of . The inverse homomorphic image of a string is defined as
C++11 is a version of a joint technical standard, ... produces a null-terminated array of type const char. ... concatenation of adjacent narrow/wide string literals,
This is because string literals have array type, char [n] (C) or const char [n] (C++), which cannot be added; this is not a restriction in most other languages. This is particularly important when used in combination with the C preprocessor , to allow strings to be computed following preprocessing, particularly in macros. [ 13 ]
A spreadsheet's concatenate ("&") function is used to assemble a complex text string—in this example, XML code for an SVG "circle" element. In formal language theory and computer programming, string concatenation is the operation of joining character strings end-to-end. For example, the concatenation of "snow" and "ball" is "snowball".
