Checks if the string begins with the given prefix. The prefix may be one of the following:
1) A string view 
sv (which may be a result of implicit conversion from another std::basic_string).2) A single character ch.
3) A null-terminated character string s.
All three overloads effectively return std::basic_string_view <CharT, Traits>(data(), size()).starts_with(x), where x is the parameter.

Run this code
#include <cassert> #include <string> #include <string_view> int main() { using namespace std::literals; const auto str = "Hello, C++20!"s; assert ("" && str.starts_with("He"sv) // (1) && !str.starts_with("he"sv) // (1) && str.starts_with("He"s) // (1) implicit conversion string to string_view && !str.starts_with("he"s) // (1) implicit conversion string to string_view && str.starts_with('H') // (2) && !str.starts_with('h') // (2) && str.starts_with("He") // (3) && !str.starts_with("he") // (3) ); }
