k so im working on putting the value (what is being pointed to) from a pointer and adding
it to the end of a string.

Code:

STRING& STRING::operator+=(char* c)
{
    char* Temp = new char [Len+1];
    for (unsigned I= 0; I <Len; I++){
        Temp [i]= STR[i];
    }
    Len+=1;
    
    Temp[Len]=char(c); // this is where im trying to add the pointer
    
    delete [] STR;
    STR = Temp;
    return *this;
}

If this is the overload that only adds a single character, then you need to change your code:

Code:

STRING& STRING::operator+=(char* c) // Remove part in red
{
    char* Temp = new char [Len+1];
    for (unsigned I= 0; I <Len; I++){
        Temp [i]= STR[i];
    }
    Len+=1;
    
    Temp[Len]=char(c); // this is where im trying to add the pointer
    
    delete [] STR;
    STR = Temp;
    return *this;
}
