[Dev-C++] working with strings

[Joost v. R. <jo...@va...>]

Hi,

I am a c++ newbie and I am trying to put to strings together but I can't 
seem to figure out how to do it. My previous coding experience is in PHP 
where I found this very easy to do...

I would like to do something like this

char firstname [15];
char lastname [20];
char fullname [35] = (firstname+lastname);

...But that obviously won't work! Can somebody show me how to do such a 
thing?

In C++ you had better to use the string type and not program in low
level with char arrays. So this is what you can do:


#include <stream>


...

using namespace std;

string s1="string1";
string s2=" string2";
string s=s1+s2;

e.t.c.
