What is wchar_t used for? How can I create a wchar_t string?

A variable of __wchar_t designates a wide-character or multibyte character type. By default wchar_t is a typedef for unsigned short.

Use the L prefix before a character or string constant.

wchar_t is a keyword in C++ and is used to designate wide-character type(not multibyte). In VC7 there's an option to set whether to treat wchar_t as a built-in type or unsinged short. -- modified at 3:53 Friday 29th September, 2006

I Checked this out from MSDN. The exact lines are: A variable of __wchar_t designates a wide-character or multibyte character type. By default, wchar_t is a typedef for unsigned short;

Yes I have read about it. It's also mentioned in MSDN.

The STL class wstring deals with wchar_t's. You can use it just like you would the string class (with the wide versions of other STL classes, that is).

If you decide to become a software engineer, you are signing up to have a 1/2" piece of silicon tell you exactly how stupid you really are for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week Zac
