4.17.2 string expressions
A string expression is:
-
a sequence of characters between two unescaped quotes (
") - an identifier of type string
- a function returning string
- a substring (using the bracket operator)
- a type cast to string (see string type cast)
-
string expressions combined by the operation
+.
Example:
// string_expression[start, length] : a substring // (possibly filled up with blanks) // the substring of s starting at position 2 // with a length of 4 string s="123456"; s[2,4]; → 2345 "abcd"[2,2]; → bc // string_expression[position] : a character from a string s[3]; → 3 // string_expression[position..position] : // a substring starting at the first position up to the second // given position s[2..4]; → 2 3 4 // a function returning a string typeof(s); → string |
