Cannot add two pointers...

[Kons]

I am getting an error (C2110, cannot add two pointers) on this:

while(iNum > 0) 
  			{   iRem = iBase % 2;
				iNum = iNum/iBase;
				sBits = "" + sBits + iRem;
  
  			}

The problem is with the "sBits = "" + sBits + iRem;." I have searched for documentation and came up with no alternatives. The prog was written in Java originally and I converted it (err, tried to anyway) to C.

Any help is appreciated.

what are they declared as? do they need to be pointers? Even if they do, you can always cast them to an unsigned long:

sBits = (unsigned long)sBits + (unsigned long)iRem;

problem solved. But the equation makes little sense to be honest with you. You had a constant string in there. You can't add strings this way in C if that's what you're trying to do.

You cannot add strings in C/C++, you have to use strcat() and strcpy() functions...

Dont think C will do more work to you like VB.
