Returns a newly constructed string object with its value initialized to a copy of a substring of this object. The substring is the portion of the object that starts at character position pos and spans len characters (or until the end of the string, whichever comes first). Parameters pos Position of the first character to be copied as a substring.

In C++, you must provide an index to access a specific element within the array. An index must be a counting type (such as int), as demonstrated here:

This is akin to the way that rental cars are numbered. However, unlike humans, C++ starts with 0 when numbering its arrays. Thus the first score in the array nScores is nScores[0].

So how does this work exactly? Well, think of a rental car parking lot. The figure shows how rental cars are typically numbered in their parking lots. The first car in row B carries the designation B1. To find B11, simply move your gaze ten cars to the right.

C++ does a similar thing. To execute the statement nScores[11] = 10, C++ starts with the address of the first element in nScores. It then moves to the right 11 spaces and stores a 10 at that location. This is shown graphically in the following figure.

The fact that C++ starts counting at zero leads to a point that always confuses beginners. The statement

Index Of Devotee Fiction

declares 100 scores, which are numbered from 0 to 99. The expression

C String Indexof

zeroes out the first element beyond the end of the array. The last element in the array is nScores[99]. The C++ compiler will not catch this error and will happily access this non-element, which very often leads to the program accessing some other variable by mistake. This type of error is very hard to find because the results are so unpredictable.
