// the C++ append() program example

#include <string>

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(void)

{

// appending a C-string to a string

string str1("Playing ");

const char *str2 = "with a string";

cout<<"str1 is: "<<str1<<endl;

cout<<"str2, C string is: const char *str2 = \"with a string\" = "<<str2<<endl;

str1.append(str2);

cout<<"Operation: str1.append(str2)"<<endl;

cout<<"Appending str2 to str1: "<<str1<<endl;

// appending part of a C-string to a string

string str3 ("Replaying ");

const char *str4 = "the string ";

cout<<"\nstr3 string is: "<<str3<<endl;

cout<<"str4 C-string is: "<<str4<<endl;

str3.append(str4, 6);

cout<<"Operation: str3.append(str4, 6)"<<endl;

cout<<"Appending part of the str4 to string str3: "<<str3<<endl;

// appending part of one string to another

string str5("Again "), str6("string manipulation");

cout<<"\nstr5 is: "<<str5<<endl;

cout<<"str6 is: "<<str6<<endl;

str5.append(str6, 4, 6);

cout<<"Operation: str5.append(str6, 4, 6)"<<endl;

cout<<"The appended string is: "<<str5<<endl;

// appending one string to another in two ways, comparing append and operator [ ]

string str7("First "), str8("Second "), str9("Third ");

cout<<"\nstr7 is: "<<str7<<"\nstr8 is: "<<str8<<"\nstr9 is: "<<str9<<endl;

str7.append(str8);

cout<<"Operation: str7.append(str8)"<<endl;

cout<<"The appended string str7 is: "<<str7<<endl<<endl;

str7 += str9;

cout<<"Operation: str7 += str9"<<endl;

cout<<"The re-appended string is: "<<str7<<endl;

// appending characters to a string

string str10("What string");

cout<<"\nstr10 string is: "<<str10<<endl;

str10.append(3, '?');

cout<<"Operation: str10.append(3, '?')"<<endl;

cout<<"str10 string appended with ? is: "<<str10<<endl;

// appending a range of one string to another

string str11("Finally "), str12("comes the END ");

cout<<"\nstr11 is: "<<str11<<" str12 is: "<<str12<<endl;

str11.append(str12.begin() + 6, str12.end() - 1);

cout<<"Operation: str11.append(str12.begin() + 6, str12.end() - 1)"<<endl;

cout<<"The appended str11 String is: "<<str11<<endl;

return 0;

}

Output example:

str1 is: Playing

str2, C string is: const char *str2 = "with a string" = with a string

Operation: str1.append(str2)

Appending str2 to str1: Playing with a string

str3 string is: Replaying

str4 C-string is: the string

Operation: str3.append(str4, 6)

Appending part of the str4 to string str3: Replaying the st

str5 is: Again

str6 is: string manipulation

Operation: str5.append(str6, 4, 6)

The appended string is: Again ng man

str7 is: First

str8 is: Second

str9 is: Third

Operation: str7.append(str8)

The appended string str7 is: First Second

Operation: str7 += str9

The re-appended string is: First Second Third

str10 string is: What string

Operation: str10.append(3, '?')

str10 string appended with ? is: What string???

str11 is: Finally str12 is: comes the END

Operation: str11.append(str12.begin() + 6, str12.end() - 1)

The appended str11 String is: Finally the END
