Question

I can do what the following code shows:

std::string a = \"chicken \";
std::string b = \"nuggets\";
std::string c = a + b;

Answer 1

"chicken " and "nuggets" are literal C-string and not std::string.

You may concatenate directly with:

std::string c = "chicken " "nuggets";

Since C++14, you may add suffix s to have string

using namespace std::string_literals;
std::string c = "chicken "s + "nuggets"s;
