Creating string Objects

The first thing I do in main() is create three strings in three different ways:

string word1 = "Game"; string word2("Over"); string word3(3, ’!’);

In the first line of this group, I simply create the string object word1 using the assignment operator, the same way youve seen for other variables. As a result, word1 is "Game".

Next, I create word2 by placing the string object to which I want the variable set between a pair of parentheses. As a result, word2 is "Over".

Finally, I create word3 by supplying between a pair of parentheses a number followed by a single character. This produces a string object made up of the provided character, which has a length equal to the number. As a result, word3 is "!!!".
