5 More Easy Things To Learn About Strings In C++ Software

5 More Easy Things To Learn About Strings In C++ Software

Hello C++ Developers,

In an earlier article we covered at least 5 easy things to learn about C++ software where we focused on how to iterate and manipulate strings in C++ in various ways. Today we have some more new topics about strings to help reinforce that knowledge. We will learn more string operations working on things as basic_string as well as std::u16string and std::u32string types. We will explain how we can use iterators of string in C++ with some great examples. We have great app design tips for the developers, focused to alignment of UI elements. In the final post, we teach how to extract file extensions from a string, mostly a Unicode String in C++ Builder.

C++ Software developers can learn C++ at LearnCplusPlus.org

LearnCPlusPlus.org is packed full of great articles for professionals and beginners alike. The posts vary from articles suitable for people who are just starting to learn C++ – basics like string handling, pointers, loops, and all those fundamental building blocks of this rich and powerful programming language – to much more in-depth and advanced subjects like artificial neural networks and AI, along with the math behind it. Our focus is on the C++ language, particularly modern C++, and will work with almost any environment and C++ IDE you can choose although, of course, we believe RAD Studio C++ Builder is the best option!

If you are new to RAD Studio, we think these posts may help you as much as a rapid introduction to programming in C++, all the way to the most robust, modern, and latest techniques for those more experienced with the language. For those who are perhaps wanting to expand their knowledge with the most up-to-date features, routines, and methodologies this is a great little boost (pun intended) to your C++ knowledge. The new RAD Studio 11C++ Builder 11, Delphi 11 are released with great new features and we are developing and testing new examples for you with the latest RADS 11 that means.LearnCPlusPlus.org examples are working well with the latest C++ Builder.
