Returns a string containing characters from lhs followed by the characters from rhs.

Parameters

lhs	-	string, character, or pointer to the first character in a null-terminated array
rhs	-	string, character, or pointer to the first character in a null-terminated array

Return value

1) basic_string<CharT,Traits,Alloc>(lhs).append(rhs)

2) basic_string<CharT,Traits,Alloc>(lhs) + rhs

3) basic_string<CharT,Traits,Alloc>(1,lhs) + rhs

4) lhs + basic_string<CharT,Traits,Alloc>(rhs)

5) lhs + basic_string<CharT,Traits,Alloc>(1,rhs)

6) std::move(lhs.append(rhs))

7) std::move(rhs.insert(0, lhs))

8) std::move(lhs.append(rhs)) or std::move(rhs.insert(0, lhs))

9) std::move(rhs.insert(0, lhs))

10) std::move(rhs.insert(0, 1, lhs))

11) std::move(lhs.append(rhs))

12) std::move(lhs.append(1, rhs))

Example

Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
 
int main()
{
    std::string s1 = "Hello";
    std::string s2 = "world";
    std::cout << s1 + ' ' + s2 + "!\n";
}

Output:

Hello world!
