We can store string literals inside std::string type.
C++ standard library offers a compound type called string or rather std::string as it is part of the std namespace.
We use it for storing and manipulating strings.
To use the std::string type, we need to include the <string> header in our program:
#include <string> int main() { std::string s = "Hello World."; }
To print out this string on the standard output we use:
#include <iostream> #include <string> int main() { std::string s = "Hello World."; std::cout << s; }
