[c++] invalid operand issue

[7w17ch]

ok, i'm working on a program for my c++ class and i think i have everything on th up 'n up but when i compile the app i get this error

invalid operands of types `const char[43]' and `float' to binary `
   operator+'

from what i can figure out it has to do with my cout << line. i think that message means that it wont let me put a string next to a float. but im not sure. what is that const char [43]'

i'll show my code if you need more, but i think i can handle this if pointed in the right direction.

Without seeing the code you probably used + to concat a String with a float for output. You need to use

cout << string << float variable;

My C++ is a little rusty so I could be wrong.

No, I am finishing up c++ and that's exactly what you have to do.

Could you post your source code?? It would really help.
