return the character stored at the specified position if pos < &lt; size(). If pos == size(), the const
version returns the terminating null character type value. Otherwise, the behavior is undefined.

Wiki Markup
This compliant solution uses the {{basic_string at()}} method, which behaves in a similar fashion to the index {{operator\[\]}} but throws an {{out_of_range}} exception if {{pos &amp;gt;= size()}}.

Code Block
bgColor#ccccff
string bs(&amp;quot;01234567&amp;quot;);
try {
  size_t i = f();
  bs.at(i) = '\0';
}
catch (...) {
  cerr &amp;lt;&amp;lt; &amp;quot;Index out of range&amp;quot; &amp;lt;&amp;lt; endl;
}

In any case, the behavior of the index operators is unchecked (no exceptions are thrown).
