Check if a string starts with another known string? [duplicate]

Question

I mostly write my codes in java and have started using c++ too. I wanted to know how to check if a given string in c++ starts with another specified string. I have posted the equivalent code in java below.

public boolean check(String string) //ENTERED string
{
    String another_string="SSS"; //to be checked if the ENTERED string starts with this string

    return (string.startsWith(another_string)); //<string>.startsWith(<string>) returns a boolean value

}

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    string str ("abcdefghijklmnoabcde");
    string str2 ("abcde");

    size_t found = str.find(str2);

    if(found == 0)
    {
         cout << "found";
    }

    return 0;
  }
