To do: Replacing the elements in a string at a specified position with specified characters or characters copied from other ranges or strings or C-strings using replace(), the basic_string class member in C++ programming

To show: How to use the replace(), the basic_string class member in C++ programming part II

// the C++ replace() example part II

#include <string>

// replacing part of the string, delineated with iterators, with a string or C-string

// replacing part of the operand string delineated with iterators with part of a parameter string delineated with iterators

string str21("1234"); // parameter

cout<<"str20 string is: "<<str20<<endl;

cout<<"str21 string is: "<<str21<<endl;

basic_string<char>::iterator Iter7, Iter8, Iter9, Iter10;

cout<<"Operation: str20.begin() + 1"<<endl;

}

Output example:

str13 string is: TESTING1

str14 string is: 123

cstr3 C-string is: AAA

Operation: str13.begin()

Operation: str13.begin() + 3

Operation: str13.replace(Iter1, Iter2, str14)

The new string is: 123TING1

Operation: str13.replace(Iter1, Iter2, cstr3)

The new string is: AAATING1

str16 string is: TESTING2

cstr4 C-string is: 1234AA

Operation: str16.begin()

Operation: str16.begin() + 4

Operation: str16.replace(Iter3, Iter4, cstr4, 4)

The new string is: 1234ING2

str18 string is: TESTING3

cstr5 character is: u

The new string is: uuuuTING3

str20 string is: TESTING4

str21 string is: 1234

Operation: str20.begin() + 1

Operation: str20.begin() + 3

Operation: str21.begin()

Operation: str21.begin() + 2

Operation: str20.replace(Iter7, Iter8, Iter9, Iter10)

The new string is: T12TING4
