Search

Search

In this lesson, we'll examine the different search features available in the string class.

We'll cover the following...

C++ offers the ability to search in a string in many variations. Each variation exists in various overloaded forms.

ℹ️ Search is called find
Odd enough the algorithms for search in a string starts with the name find. If the search was successful, you get the index of type std::string::size_type, if not, you get the constant std::string::npos. The first character has an index of 0.

The find ...
