You can assign a standard string to a C-string variable.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A standard string (std::string in C++) cannot be directly assigned to a C-string variable (char*) because they are different types. A C-string is a pointer to a character array, while a std::string is a class that encapsulates dynamic string data. To assign a std::string to a C-string, you must use the c_str() member function of std::string, which returns a const char* pointer to the string data.
