Summary
This episode covers the C++20 additions of starts_with and ends_with methods to std::string and std::string_view. Jason explains how these handy utility functions simplify common string operations that previously required more complex code like find() with position checking. Both functions accept a single character, string literal, or string pointer, and importantly have constexpr support when used with string_view.
