std::basic_string_view::starts_with

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.
