The cstring
header provides functions for dealing with C-style strings — null-terminated arrays of characters. This includes functions like strlen
and strcpy
. It’s the C++ version of the classic string.h
header from C.
The string
header provides the std::string
class and related functions and operators.
The headers have similar names, but they’re not really related beyond that. They cover separate tasks.
