How to copy a string of std::string type in C++?

Question

I used the strcpy() function and it only works if I use C-string arrays like:

char a[6] = "text";
char b[6] = "image";
strcpy         


        

Answer 1

strcpy example:

#include 
#include 

int main ()
{
  char str1[]="Sample string" ;
  char str2[40] ;
  strcpy (str2,str1) ;
  printf ("str1: %s\n",str1) ;
  return 0 ;
}

Output: str1: Sample string

Your case:

A simple = operator should do the job.

string str1="Sample string" ;
string str2 = str1 ;
