Re: [Dev-C++] How would you write a method returning a string ?

[matheus r. <mfr...@gm...>]

The first question to ask is: why would one need that? C++ strings
were made thinking of them as a base value, like int.

Id rather write a function with

const std::string somefunction(const char *val)

prototype.
