std::basic_string<CharT,Traits,Allocator>::at
< cpp | string | basic string
reference at( size_type pos ); |
||
const_reference at( size_type pos ) const; |
||
Returns a reference to the character at specified location pos
. Bounds checking is performed, exception of type std::out_of_range will be thrown on invalid access.
Parameters
pos | - | position of the character to return |
Return value
Reference to the requested character.
Exceptions
Throws std::out_of_range if pos >= size().
Complexity
Constant.
Example
Run this code
#include <stdexcept> #include <iostream> #include <string> int main() { std::string s("message"); // for capacity s = "abc"; s.at(2) = 'x'; // ok std::cout << s << '\n'; std::cout << "string size = " << s.size() << '\n'; std::cout << "string capacity = " << s.capacity() << '\n'; try { // throw, even if capacity allowed to access element s.at(3) = 'x'; } catch (std::out_of_range const& exc) { std::cout << exc.what() << '\n'; } }
Output:
abx string size = 3 string capacity = 7 basic_string::at
