Question about returning variables and text

Hi,

I am trying to return a variable in a string, like this:

Code:

---

void toString()
{
    return "The variable is" +variable1;
}

---

I didn't think this would work, and it didn't, so how can i do this? I don't want to do it with cout instead of return.

Use the string class:

Code:

---

#include <string>

using namespace std;

string toString() {
    return "The variable is: " + sVar;
}

---

K, thanks, and i just realized i put this in chit chat, not C++, sorry everyone.
