Conclusion

We've covered a lot of material about how a real, generally useful class such as string works in this chapter. In the next chapter, we'll continue with the saga of our string class, finishing up the additional functionality needed to turn it into a full-fledged concrete data type. We'll put this new functionality to the test in a modified version of the sorting algorithm from the early chapters that sorts strings rather than numeric values.
