[edit] Parameters

ch - the character to append

[edit] Return value

(none)

[edit] Complexity

Amortized constant.

[edit] Exceptions

If the operation would cause size() to exceed max_size(), throws std::length_error.

If an exception is thrown for any reason, this function has no effect (strong exception safety guarantee).

[edit] Example

#include #include #include   int main() { std::string str{"Short string"}; std::cout << "1) " << std::quoted(str) << ", size: " << str.size() << '\n';   str.push_back('!'); std::cout << "2) " << std::quoted(str) << ", size: " << str.size() << '\n'; }

Output:

  1. "Short string", size: 12
  2. "Short string!", size: 13
