// Run this code

#include <cassert>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
std::string str{"Short string"};
std::cout << "before=" << std::quoted(str) << '\n';
assert(str.size() == 12);

str.push_back('!');
std::cout << " after=" << quoted(str) << '\n';
assert(str.size() == 13);
}

Output:

before="Short string"
after="Short string!"
