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

If you have C++11, you can use std::to_string.

Example:

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

name += std::to_string(age);

std::cout << name;

Output:

John21
