You can't convert an object into a string in the general case in C++.

If the object has an overloaded << operator for ostreams (which is common, so you can use it with cout <<), then you can use a stringstream thus:

// need to include <sstream>
// Also <string>
{
  SomeClass obj; // What we want to convert...
  using namespace std; // I'm lazy; ostringstream and string are in std
  ostringstream oss;
  oss << obj;
  string str = oss.str(); // There's your string
}

And, furthermore, how do we know you're really a Japanese Girl? :queasy:

You could really be an overweight balding 79.3 year old Yakut. :eek:

Not that it'd really matter, of course. 😉

Except Brad would have just deleted it in that case ( .... OK, OK! Just kidding, both of ya!) 😃

I actually thought she was an overweight balding old guy with an odd picture.

Sorry 🙂

Well, now I'm confused. Laserlight has a pic, but the OP doesn't.

OK, here's what I know from my end to shed light.

I was talking to the OP, even though I quoted laserlight.
I know the difference between a one-shot newb poster who claims (rightly or wrongly) to be a Japanese girl and an experienced board guru who has more posts than most of the rest of us.
I know that Japan and Singapore and quite a ways apart. Even taking into account the farthest southern islands, definitely more than 1000 kilometres, by my best judgment without wasting time in an atlas or Google-earth.
I also know that use of this board to get quick answers to your homework assignments is way too common.
