class string

When we use class string, we create an string object. what is about its member functions? We don't call them except the function that overload operator <<>>

So, my confusion is, how do, and where if called , the other member functions are called?

Or they are called automatically? Is this a way?

Sir, I'm beginner in C++. Can you please tell me that if string member functions are executed automatically? Because when we create an string object. I see not a call of member function.

object.memberFunction is the normal way to call memberFunction.

The constructor is a function "called automatically" in the sense that it is part of construction. Study on the subject of constructors and destructors.

The destructor is a function "called automatically" when the string falls from scope (is otherwise deleted as the member of another class/struct).

When using operators like << or + or +=, these are actually ways of calling functions, in this case operator functions. I wouldn't say this is "automatic", but it might fit what you're thinking. They are not really "automatic" because these operators are functions in classes like string, but you might be thinking of them as automatic merely because the syntax is not that of a member function call like s.c_str(); It would be an error, really, to think they are automatic. This is also true of the assignment operator "=".

Thank you. Actually I know those are functions and not automatically called. Because these operators in itself are functions. Anyway up have been told about constructors. I think my reply exist in the concept of constructors. Thank you
