const keyword.

**Aslaville** · 06-25-2013

I can across this definition which makes me think that maybe I do not really understand the const keyword,..otherwise I do not understand why this definition cannot compile.

Code:

const std::string exclam = "!";
const std::string message = "Hello" + ", world" + exclam;

String concatenation (`operator +') is not defined with tho dumb strings (`const char *').

I don`t quite understand because this compiles:

Code:

const std::string message = "Hello" + exclam ;//+ ", world" ;
