reference       at( size_type pos );
const_reference at( size_type pos ) const;

Returns a reference to the character at specified location pos. Bounds checking is performed, exception of type std::out_of_range will be thrown on invalid access.

Contents

Parameters

pos - position of the character to return

Return value

reference to the requested character

Exceptions

throws std::out_of_range if pos >= size()

Complexity

Constant

Example

#include <stdexcept>
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
  std::string s("message"); // for capacity
 
  s = "abc";
  s.at(2) = 'x'; // ok
  std::cout << s << '\n';
 
  std::cout << "string size = " << s.size() << '\n';
  std::cout << "string capacity = " << s.capacity() << '\n';
 
  try {
    // throw, even if capacity allowed to access element
    s.at(3) = 'x';
  }
  catch (std::out_of_range& exc) {
    std::cout << exc.what() << '\n';
  }
}

Output:

abx
string size = 3
string capacity = 7
