reference       operator[]( size_type pos );
(1)
const_reference operator[]( size_type pos ) const;
(2)

Returns a reference to the character at specified location pos. No bounds checking is performed.

1) If pos == size(), the behavior is undefined.
2) If pos == size(), a reference to the character with value CharT() (the null character) is returned.
(until C++11)

If pos == size(), a reference to the character with value CharT() (the null character) is returned.

For the first (non-const) version, the behavior is undefined if this character is modified to any value other than charT().

(since C++11)

Parameters

pos - position of the character to return

Return value

Reference to the requested character.

Complexity

Constant.
