What are the methods for using the string class in C++?

In C++, the string class is a commonly used class for manipulating strings, providing a range of methods to handle and process strings. Here are some common application methods of the string class:

  1. length(): Returns the length of the string.
  2. size(): returns the length of the string, equivalent to the function of length().
  3. empty(): Check if the string is empty and return a boolean value.
  4. at(): returns the character at the specified position.
  5. front(): returns the first character of the string.
  6. back(): Returns the last character of the string.
  7. substr() function: returns a substring.
  8. Append(): Add other strings to the end of a string.
  9. Insert(): To insert another string at a specified position.
  10. erase(): delete characters from a string within a specified range.
  11. replace() function: Replaces characters within a specified range with another string.
  12. find(): locate the position of a specified string in the current string.
  13. rfind(): Searches for the specified string in the current string starting from the end of the string.
  14. compare(): compare two strings in dictionary order.
  15. c_str(): Convert a string to a C-style string.
  16. Convert other data types to strings using to_string().
  17. getline(): reads a line of string from the input stream.
  18. push_back(): add a character to the end of a string.
  19. Remove the last character of the string using pop_back().

These are just some common methods of the string class, there are more methods available that can be found in the official C++ documentation.
