constexpr bool starts_with(basic_string_view x) const noexcept;	(1)	(since C++20)
constexpr bool starts_with(CharT x) const noexcept;	(2)	(since C++20)
constexpr bool starts_with(const CharT* x) const;	(3)	(since C++20)

Checks if the string view begins with the given prefix, where

1) the prefix is a string view. Effectively returns size() >= x.size() && compare(0, x.size(), x) == 0;

2) the prefix is a single character. Effectively returns starts_with(basic_string_view(&x, 1));

3) the prefix is a C-style string. Effectively returns starts_with(basic_string_view(x));

Parameters

x

-

a character sequence or a single character to compare to the start of the string view

Return value

true if the string view begins with the provided prefix, false otherwise.
