C ++ std :: string a string that is inserted in front of a string of several ways

1, the string directly adding

std::string a = "hello";
std::string b = "hello";
for(int i = 0; i < 100; ++i)
{
    a = b + a;
}

2, using the insert function

std::string a = "hello";
for(int i = 0; i < 100; ++i)
{
    a.insert(0, "hello");
}
