How to concatenate a std::string and an int?

Question

I thought this would be really simple but it\'s presenting some difficulties. If I have

std::string name = \"John\";
int age = 21;

How do I

Answer 1

This problem can be done in many ways. I will show it in two ways:

1. Convert the number to string using to_string(i).

2. Using string streams.

   Code:

   #include 
   #include 
   #include 
   #include 
   using namespace std;
   
   int main() {
       string name = "John";
       int age = 21;
   
       string answer1 = "";
       // Method 1). string s1 = to_string(age).
   
       string s1=to_string(age); // Know the integer get converted into string
       // where as we know that concatenation can easily be done using '+' in C++
   
       answer1 = name + s1;
   
       cout << answer1 << endl;
   
       // Method 2). Using string streams
   
       ostringstream s2;
   
       s2 << age;
   
       string s3 = s2.str(); // The str() function will convert a number into a string
   
       string answer2 = "";  // For concatenation of strings.
   
       answer2 = name + s3;
   
       cout << answer2 << endl;
   
       return 0;
   }
