Question

C++
Can anyone tell me why an error occurs when I declare something like string x = 0;?

Answer 1

Can string type take a value of a number?

Answer 2

no. it's a string, so it is registered as a "string" of characters.

Answer 3

Strings in C++ end up as character arrays (from my experience). therefore, unless you are trying to make this a null string (in which case you should use ""; or null;) you generally want to surround your input with quotes as @nphuongsun93 stated previously. (which would make your right hand side be "0";)

Answer 4

Thank you very much.
