Basic Assignment
There are three overloaded assignment methods:
basic_string& operator=(const basic_string& str); basic_string& operator=(const charT* s); basic_string& operator=(charT c);
The first assigns one string object to another, the second assigns a C-style string to a string object, and the third assigns a single character to a string object. Thus, all of the following operations are possible:
string name("George Wash"); string pres, veep, source; pres = name; veep = "Road Runner"; source = 'X';
