bool starts_with(std::basic_string_view<CharT, Traits> x) const noexcept;	(1)	(since C++20)
bool starts_with(CharT x) const noexcept;	(2)	(since C++20)
bool starts_with(const CharT* x) const;	(3)	(since C++20)

Checks if the string begins with the given prefix, where

1) the prefix is a string view (which may be a result of implicit conversion from another std::basic_string)

2) the prefix is a single character

3) the prefix is a C-style string

All three overloads effectively return std::basic_string_view<CharT, Traits>(data(), size()).starts_with(x);

Parameters

x

-

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

Return value

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