Example 1: convert string to char c++

// "std::string" has a method called "c_str()" that returns a "const char*"
// pointer to its inner memory. You can copy that "const char*" to a variable
// using "strcpy()".

std::string str = "Hello World";
char buffer[50];

strcpy(buffer, str.c_str());

std::cout << buffer;	//Output: Hello World

//POSTED BY eferion ON STACK OVERFLOW (IN SPANISH).

Example 2: c++ cast char to string

char sczName[] = {"Jakes"};
std::string strName = std::string(sczName);

/* SYNTAX
#include <string>
std::string(<char-to-convert>)
*/

Example 3: char to string c++
