std::basic_string_view<CharT,Traits>::operator[]
< cpp | string | basic string view
constexpr const_reference operator[](size_type pos) const; |
(since C++17) | |
Returns a const reference to the character at specified location pos
.
No bounds checking is performed: the behavior is undefined if pos >= size().
Parameters
pos | - | position of the character to return |
Return value
Const reference to the requested character
Exceptions
Does not throw
Complexity
Constant.
Notes
Unlike std::basic_string::operator[], std::basic_string_view::operator[](size())
has undefined behavior instead of returning CharT()
.
Example
Run this code
#include <iostream> #include <string_view> int main() { std::string str = "Exemplar"; std::string_view v = str; std::cout << v[2] << '\n'; // v[2] = 'y'; // Error: cannot modify through a string view str[2] = 'y'; std::cout << v[2] << '\n'; }
Output:
e y
