Tip: You might see some C++ programs that use the size()
function to get the length of a string. This is just an alias of length()
. It is completely up to you if you want to use length()
or size()
:
Example
string txt = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
cout << "The length of the txt string is: " << txt.size();
