char msg[40];
string s = "The price is $";
float price = 120.00;
string input = " and the tax is $";
float tax = 5.00;
For example, I want to fill msg with "The price is $120.00 dollars and the tax is $5.00". The code I have so far that is not working is:
msg = s + price + input + tax;
I am stuck right now and can't figure it out, any help is appreciated. Thanks.
You should declare msg as a std::string.
Then you can either use stringstream to convert the float to string or with C++11, you can use the function std::to_string(arg) with various supported types for arg.
You can use the c-function sprintf (unless you want to use a c++ string, in which case stringstream is an easy option.
This can be done by
sprintf(msg, "The price is $%.2f and the tax is $%.2f", price, tax);
There is a good description of the printf syntax here.
