C++: Define simple string?
- by Jason
This thing is really wracking my mind. I'm learning C++ and I wanted to define a constant that I can use in another function, A short answer on how to do this will be fine..
Lets say at the beginning of my code I want to define this constant:
//After #includes
bool OS = 1; //1 = linux
if (OS) {
const ??? = "clear";
} else {
const ??? = "cls";
}
I don't know what type to use to define the "clear" string... I'm so confused.
Later on I want to use it within a function:
int foo() {
system(::cls); //:: for global
return 0;
}
How would I define the string up top, and use the string down below? I heard char only had one character and things... I'm not sure how to use , since it says it's converting string into const char or something.
