How to initialize an std::string with a length?

Question

If a string\'s length is determined at compile-time, how can I properly initialize it?

#include 
int length = 3;
string word[length]; //invalid         


        

Answer 1

You can initialize your string like this:

string word = "abc"

or

string word(length,' ');
word[0] = 'a';
word[1] = 'b';
word[2] = 'c';
