std::basic_string_view<CharT,Traits>::operator[] - cppreference.com (original) (raw)

| constexpr const_reference operator[]( size_type pos ) const; | | (since C++17) | | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | | ------------- |

Returns a const reference to the character at specified location pos.

If pos < size() is false, the behavior is undefined. (until C++26)
If pos < size() is false: If the implementation is hardened, a contract violation occurs. Moreover, if the contract-violation handler returns under “observe” evaluation semantic, the behavior is undefined. If the implementation is not hardened, the behavior is undefined. (since C++26)

Contents

[edit] Parameters

pos - position of the character to return

[edit] Return value

_[data](../basic%5Fstring%5Fview.html#data "cpp/string/basic string view")_ [pos]

[edit] Exceptions

Does not throw.

[edit] Complexity

Constant.

[edit] Notes

Unlike std::basic_string::operator[], std::basic_string_view::operator[](size()) does not return a reference to CharT().

[edit] Example

#include #include   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'; }
