Returns a substring[
pos,
pos+ count)
. If the requested substring extends past the end of the string, i.e. thecount is greater thansize()- pos (e.g. ifcount== npos), the returned substring is[
pos,
size()
)
.

pos | - | position of the first character to include |

String containing the substring[

If an exception is thrown for any reason, these functions have no effect (strong exception safety guarantee).
Linear incount.
The allocator of the returned string is default-constructed: the new allocator mightnot be a copy ofget_allocator()
.
#include <iostream>#include <string> int main(){std::string a="0123456789abcdefghij"; // count is npos, returns [pos, size())std::string sub1= a.substr(10);std::cout<< sub1<<'\n'; // both pos and pos + count are within bounds, returns [pos, pos + count)std::string sub2= a.substr(5,3);std::cout<< sub2<<'\n'; // pos is within bounds, pos + count is not, returns [pos, size())std::string sub4= a.substr(a.size()-3,50);// this is effectively equivalent to// std::string sub4 = a.substr(17, 3);// since a.size() == 20, pos == a.size() - 3 == 17, and a.size() - pos == 3 std::cout<< sub4<<'\n'; try{// pos is out of bounds, throwsstd::string sub5= a.substr(a.size()+3,50);std::cout<< sub5<<'\n';}catch(conststd::out_of_range& ex){std::cout<< ex.what()<<'\n';}}
Possible output:
