basic_string::value_type
A type that represents the type of characters stored in a string.
typedef typename allocator_type::value_type value_type;
Remarks
It is equivalent to traits_type::char_type and is equivalent to char for objects of type string.
Example
// basic_string_value_type.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
int main( )
{
using namespace std;
basic_string<char>::value_type ch1 = 'G';
char ch2 = 'H';
cout << "The character ch1 is: " << ch1 << "." << endl;
cout << "The character ch2 is: " << ch2 << "." << endl;
}
The character ch1 is: G. The character ch2 is: H.
