String prefix and suffix checking
Understand the use of 'starts_with' and 'ends_with' functions with examples.
We'll cover the following...
std::string
gets new member functions starts_with
and ends_with
. They allow you to check if a std::string
starts or ends with a specified substring.

#include <iostream>#include <string_view>#include <string>template <typename PrefixType>void startsWith(const std::string& str, PrefixType prefix) {std::cout << " starts with " << prefix << ": " <<str.starts_with(prefix) << '\n';}template <typename SuffixType>void endsWith(const std::string& str, SuffixType suffix) {std::cout << " ends with " << suffix << ": " <<str.ends_with(suffix) << '\n';}int main() {std::cout << std::endl;std::cout << std::boolalpha;std::string helloWorld("Hello World");std::cout << helloWorld << std::endl;startsWith(helloWorld, helloWorld);startsWith(helloWorld, std::string_view("Hello"));startsWith(helloWorld, 'H');std::cout << "\n\n";std::cout << helloWorld << std::endl;endsWith(helloWorld, helloWorld);endsWith(helloWorld, std::string_view("World"));endsWith(helloWorld, 'd');}
Both member functions starts_with
and ends_with
are
