const char* concatenation

Question

I need to concatenate two const chars like these:

const char *one = \"Hello \";
const char *two = \"World\";

How might I go about doing tha

Answer 1

In your example one and two are char pointers, pointing to char constants. You cannot change the char constants pointed to by these pointers. So anything like:

strcat(one,two); // append string two to string one.

will not work. Instead you should have a separate variable(char array) to hold the result. Something like this:

char result[100];   // array to hold the result.

strcpy(result,one); // copy string one into the result.
strcat(result,two); // append string two to the result.
