std::basic_string_view<CharT,Traits>::starts_with

 
 
 
 
constexpr bool starts_with(basic_string_view x) const noexcept;
(1) (since C++20)
constexpr bool starts_with(CharT x) const noexcept;
(2) (since C++20)
constexpr bool starts_with(const CharT* x) const;
(3) (since C++20)

Checks if the string view begins with the given prefix, where

1) the prefix is a string view. Effectively returns size() >= x.size() && compare(0, x.size(), x) == 0
2) the prefix is a single character. Effectively returns !empty() && Traits::eq(front(), x)
3) the prefix is a C-style string. Effectively returns starts_with(basic_string_view(x))

Parameters

x - a character sequence or a single character to compare to the start of the string view

Return value

true if the string view begins with the provided prefix, false otherwise.
