std::basic_string<CharT,Traits,Allocator>::push_back

void push_back( CharT ch );
(until C++20)
constexpr void push_back( CharT ch );
(since C++20)

Appends the given character ch to the end of the string.

Parameters

ch - the character to append

Return value

(none).

Complexity

Amortized constant.

Exceptions

If an exception is thrown for any reason, this function has no effect (strong exception guarantee). (since C++11).

If the operation would result in size() > max_size(), throws std::length_error.

Example

#include <cassert>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
    std::string str{"Short string"};
    std::cout << "before=" << std::quoted(str) << '\n';
    assert(str.size() == 12);
 
    str.push_back('!');
    std::cout << " after=" << quoted(str) << '\n';
    assert(str.size() == 13);
}

Output:

before="Short string"
 after="Short string!"
