Formatting library (C++20)
The text formatting library offers a safe and extensible alternative to the printf family of functions. It is intended to complement the existing C++ I/O streams library and reuse some of its infrastructure such as overloaded insertion operators for user-defined types.
Example:
std::string message = std::format("The answer is {}.", 42);
Formatting functions

(C++20)
|
writes out formatted representation of its arguments through an output iterator, not exceeding specified size (function template) |
|
(C++20)
|
determines the number of characters necessary to store the formatted representation of its arguments (function template) |
