xtd::istringable Class Reference

Inheritance diagram for xtd::istringable:

Definition

Provides a way to represent the current object as a string.

Namespace

xtd

Library

xtd.core

Examples

The following exemple shows how to use xtd::istringable interface.

#include <xtd/console>
#include <xtd/environment>
#include <xtd/istringable>
 
using namespace xtd;
 
class character : public istringable {
public:
  character(const string& name, const string& rank) noexcept : name_(name), rank_(rank) {}
  
  const string& name() const noexcept {return name_;}
  const string& rank() const noexcept {return rank_;}
  
  string to_string() const noexcept override {return name_ + " (" + rank_ + ")";}
  
private:
  string name_;
  string rank_;
};
 
using characters = std::initializer_list<character>;
 
auto main() -> int {
  for (auto c : characters {{"Jean-Luc Picard", "Captain"}, {"William Riker", "Commander"}, {"Data", "Commander"}, {"Beverly Crusher", "Commander"}, {"Geordi La Forge", "Lieutenant Commander"}, {"Worf", "Lieutenant Commander"}, {"Tasha Yar", "Lieutenant"}})
    console::out << c << environment::new_line;
}
 
// This code produces the following output :
//
// Jean-Luc Picard (Captain)
// William Riker (Commander)
// Data (Commander)
// Beverly Crusher (Commander)
// Geordi La Forge (Lieutenant Commander)
// Worf (Lieutenant Commander)
// Tasha Yar (Lieutenant)
