AI Thread Summary
In an introductory C++ course, a student is developing a program to analyze URL links and perform string searches within them. The goal is to create a response based on the URL input, such as identifying the website and providing a description. The student is seeking information about a built-in C++ library that could facilitate this task. Suggestions include the <algorithm> library, which may be useful for string manipulation and searching, although the discussion acknowledges that there are likely multiple libraries that could serve this purpose effectively.

I'm in an introductory course for c++ and I'm trying to make a program where it analyzes a url link and do string searches within it. For example if I were to put in https://www.wikipedia.com , it would say, "You've requested the Wikipedia- The Free Encyclopedia page."

My professor told us that there is a built in c++ library to make this easy, I've been searching everywhere but I have no idea what library this is.

thanks.

I'm sure there's more than one! But no doubt there is one that's best suited.

The <algorithm> lib might be of use to you?
 
Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'
I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.
