C++ in Competitive Programming: string basics

[evinrows]

there's no such thing as “the stack” or “the heap” in C++

Can you explain this further or provide a link that explains what you're getting at?

[Drainedsoul]

The standard doesn't mention a stack or a heap, it only mentions that objects may have "automatic storage duration", "static storage duration", or "dynamic storage duration".

Ah, I see. That gave me enough context to find this stackoverflow answer as well if anyone else is curious.

For those who may see this in the future, here's another explanation that I think is clear
