Remarks
Note
The class/parameter names in the prototype do not match the version in the header file. Some have been modified to improve readability.
There are five versions of the string::operator+ function. Two functions are used to concatenate a null-terminated character array and a basic_string. Two functions are used to concatenate a character and a basic_string. The last function is used to concatenate two basic_string variables.
Example
// StringPlus.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
// Illustrates how to use the operator+ to concatenate
// a null-terminated character array and a basic_string,
// how to concatenate a character and a basic_string,
// and how to concatenate two basic_string variables.
//
// Functions:
//
// operator+ : Concatenates a null-terminated character array and
// a basic_string.
// operator+ : Concatenates a character array and a basic_string.
// operator+ : Concatenates two basic_string variables.
