erase string c++ code example

Example 1: string erase character c++

#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <string>
 
int main()
{
    std::string s = "This is an example";
    std::cout << s << '\n';
 
    s.erase(0, 5); // Erase "This "
    std::cout << s << '\n';
 
    s.erase(std::find(s.begin(), s.end(), ' ')); // Erase ' '
    std::cout << s << '\n';
 
    s.erase(s.find(' ')); // Trim from ' ' to the end of the string
    std::cout << s << '\n';
}

Example 2: erase string c++

string& erase (size_t pos = 0, size_t len = npos);
/*
pos
Position of the first character to be erased.
If this is greater than the string length, it throws out_of_range.
Note: The first character in str is denoted by a value of 0 (not 1).
len
Number of characters to erase (if the string is shorter, as many characters as possible are erased).
A value of string::npos indicates all characters until the end of the string.
