Program Description: The myString class will handle constructing strings, reading/printing, and accessing characters. In addition, the myString object will have the ability to make a full deep-copy of itself when copied. All myStrings is always be stored in a dynamic array that is exactly the correct size to store the string

List of operation class supports:
-A length member function which returns the number of characters in the string.
-Printing a myString to a stream using an overloaded << (insertion) operator
-myString object overloaded the square brackets [ ] operator to allow direct access
-All six of the overloaded relational operators (<, <=, >, >=, ==, !=)
-for 'a pointer as a data member'. We have to use following member functions required in classes that use dynamic memory
(1) Assignment operator (2) Copy constructor (3) Destructor (4) Default constructor
- read() function reads file
- Concatenation operator
- Combined concatenation and assignment operator
- Extraction operator.

-The overloaded operators will perform the following tests:-

#basic test
-inside this test we will read file myString.txt and make use of overloaded >> Extraction operator.
#relational test
#Concat test - will make use of concat/Assign operators
#append test
#copy test

The Twenty member function is written for this program:

[1]myString::myString();
[2]myString::myString(const char *inDesc);
[3]myString::myString(const myString& right);
[4]myString::~myString();
[5]myString::operator=(const myString& right);
[6]bool operator==(const myString& left, const myString& right);
[7]bool operator<(const myString& left, const myString& right);
[8]bool operator!=(const myString& left, const myString& right);
[9]bool operator>(const myString& left, const myString& right);
[10]bool operator<=(const myString& left, const myString& right);
[11]bool operator>=(const myString& left, const myString& right);
[12]int myString::length() const ;
[13]ostream& operator<<(ostream& out, const myString& source);
[14]myString::operator+=(const myString& right);
[15]myString::operator+=(const char *right);
[16]const myString operator+(const myString &left, const myString &right);
[17]void myString::read(istream &source, char delimit);
[18]istream& operator>>(istream& in, myString &source);
