Looking at the following code:
string str = "xxxaa bbcc";
int pos1 = str.find("a b"); // pos1=4
int pos2 = str.find('a b'); // pos2=7
int pos3 = str.find('a bb'); // error C2015: too many characters in constant
Why doesn't the second
'a b'
trigger any errors? It always seems to me that''
can only hold one char, but OK for 4 ones here? And why will I getpos2=7
(just like only the last one char'b'
is passed in)?From the second one, it seems
''
can hold for multiple chars, why won't it be ok for more than 5 chars, see the third example?
