C++ 基于类的String实现

STL中string字符串类有很多成员函数，在此文中，小编根据在学的数据结构写了一个简单的String类，基本函数功能与标准模板库的函数有所雷同。亮点在于将list单向链表转化成String对象进项String的操作。在写比较函数时可以充分利用C字符串转换函数将String对象的比较转换成C字符串的比较，简化了代码的书写。

代码如下：

/// the achievement of class string///
#include <iostream>
#include <list>
#include <cstring>
#include "List.h"
using namespace std;
class String {
    public:
        String();
        ~String();
        String(const String& copy);
        String( const char* copy);
        String(List<char>& copy);
        void operator=(const String& copy);
        const char* c_str() const;
    protected:
        char* entries;
        int length;

}; 

bool operator == (const String &first, const String& second);
bool operator > ( const String &first, const String& second);
bool operator < ( const String &first, const String& second);
bool operator >= (const String &first, const String& second);
bool operator <= (const String &first, const String& second);
bool operator != (const String &first, const String& second); 
String::String() {
    entries = NULL;
    length = 0;
}
String::String(const char* in_string) {
    length = strlen(in_string);
    entries = new char[length + 1];
    strcpy(entries, in_string);
}

String::~String() {
    delete entries;
}

String::String(const String& copy) {    
    length = copy.length;
    entries = new char[copy.length+1];
    int i;
    for( i = 0; i < length; i++) entries[i] = copy.entries[i];
    entries[i] = '\0';

}

String::String(List<char>& in_list) {
    length = in_list.length();
    entries = new char[length+1];
    for( int i = 0; i < length; i++)  entries[i] = in_list.getItem(i);
    entries[length] = '\0';
}

void String::operator=(const String& copy) {
    int i;
    if(entries != NULL) delete entries;
    length = copy.length;
    entries = new char[copy.length+1];
    for(i = 0; i < copy.length; i++) entries[i] = copy.entries[i];
    entries[i] = '\0';

}
const char* String::c_str() const {
    return (const char*) entries;
}

bool operator==(const String& first, const String &second) {
    return strcmp(first.c_str(), second.c_str() ) == 0;
}

bool operator > ( const String &first, const String& second) {
    return strcmp(first.c_str(), second.c_str()) > 0;
}

bool operator < ( const String &first, const String& second) {
    return strcmp(first.c_str(), second.c_str()) < 0;
}

bool operator >= ( const String &first, const String& second) {
    return strcmp(first.c_str(), second.c_str()) >= 0;
}

bool operator <= (const String& first, const String& second) {
    return strcmp(first.c_str(), second.c_str()) <= 0;
}

bool operator != (const String& first, const String& second) {
    return strcmp(first.c_str(), second.c_str()) != 0;
}

int main() {
    String str1 =  "I'm a student studying in sun yatsen univesity";
    String str2(str1);
    if( str1 == str2) cout<< "str1 == str2" <<endl;
    if( str1 > str2) cout << "str1 > str2" <<endl; 
}

写完之后，小编只测试了编译和个别函数。如果BUG发现，还望批评指出，不吝赐教。
