Replace

[markusfurst]

Hi,
I'm trying to replace the word love with the word hate but I get the error message "No matching member function for call to 'replace'".

#include<iostream>
#include<string>
#include<sstream>
#include<iomanip>

using namespace std;

int main ()
{
    string const inText1 = "I love you";
    string::size_type pos = inText1.find("love");
    inText1.replace(pos, "hate");
    

    
    return 0;
    
    
}

There are two problems.

1. The replace function modifies the string so you need to call it on a non-const string variable.

2. The second argument to replace (between pos and "hate") should be the number of characters that you want to replace.

The assignment that I have requires me to use string const, how should I solved it then?

You could create a non-const copy of inText1 and then call replace on the copy instead.
