f**k the ones who say, "C++ is poor in string manipulation"

C++ a lot of things improved with 11. Might be a history thing.

A lot of big projects don't use std::string. For the kind of stuff C++ is used for, other data structures (eg. ropes) are much better.

C++ is poor in string manipulation

@RememberMe what's wrong with std::string?

@iiii as such, nothing for basic string stuff. C++ doesn't even need a StringBuilder like Java does because strings are mutable and and std::stringstream is awesome. But "for the kind of stuff C++ is used for" often means applications that need higher performance than ye olde std::string or otherwise some sort of special string handling, so something like https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/... is pretty commonly implemented.

@RememberMe yeah, std::stringstream is the creation of GOD in developer's body.
