C++ Numbers and Strings

Adding Numbers and Strings

If you add two numbers, the result will be a number:

Example:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
int main () {
  int x = 20;
  int y = 21;
  int z = x + y;
  cout << z;
  return 0;
}


//Output--->  z will be 41 (an integer) 

If you add two strings, the result will be a string concatenation:

Example:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
 
int main () {
  string x = "20";
  string y = "21";
  string z = x + y;
  cout << z;
  return 0;
}


//Output---> z will be 2021 (a string) 

If you try to add a number to a string, an error occurs:

Example:

string x = "20";
int y = 21;
string z = x + y;   //Error
