Return iterator to beginning
Returns an iterator referring to the first character in the string.
Parameters
none
Return Value
An iterator to the beginning of the string.
The type of this iterator is either string::iterator member type or string::const_iterator member type, which are compiler specific iterator types suitable to iterate through the elements of a string object.
Example
// string::begin and string::end
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
string str ("Test string");
string::iterator it;
for ( it=str.begin() ; it < str.end(); it++ )
cout << *it;
return 0;
}
