C++ sstream Library
C++ sstream Library
The <sstream> library has classes that let you use a string as a stream (a flow of data). You can write to a string and read from a string, in the same way as you use cout and cin.
String streams are useful when you want to split a string into words, convert between text and numbers, or build a string from many values.
