Char into Strings beginner question

[tomrayains]

Hi all,

Im just starting out learning C++ however i'm stuck/have a small question about strings and chars.

for example I have two chars

char* x
char* y

I was wondering if its possible to add these two chars into one string

The code i am using is

std::string string (x,y);

however when i print this to the screen on the char x will appear and im not sure why or even if its possible?

I hope you can help im an absolute beginner to so if i haven't explained myself well let me know and i'll try and explain.

p.s. Hello everyone glad to be part of the forums!

You can't do it directly with the constructor. Instead just append it on after you are done.

std::string str(x); //construct it
str += y; //append to it

Thank you very much!

I was sure it could be done i was just not sure how. however when i look at your code it makes a lot of sense why it cant be done the was i was trying!
