std::basic_string<CharT,Traits,Allocator>::begin, std::basic_string<CharT,Traits,Allocator>::cbegin - cppreference.com

iterator begin();

(1) (noexcept since C++11)
(constexpr since C++20)

const_iterator begin() const;

(2) (noexcept since C++11)
(constexpr since C++20)

const_iterator cbegin() const noexcept;

(3) (since C++11)
(constexpr since C++20)

Returns an iterator to the first character of the string.

begin() returns a mutable or constant iterator, depending on the constness of *this.

cbegin() always returns a constant iterator. It is equivalent to const_cast<const basic_string&>(*this).begin().

[edit] Parameters

(none)

[edit] Return value

Iterator to the first character.

[edit] Complexity

Constant.

[edit] Notes

libc++ backports cbegin() to C++98 mode.

[edit] Example
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
 
int main()
{
    std::string s("Exemplar");
    *s.begin() = 'e';
    std::cout << s << '\n';
 
    auto i = s.cbegin();
    std::cout << *i << '\n';
//  *i = 'E'; // error: i is a constant iterator
}

Output:
