c++ string class concantenate

I can't figure out how to write this ConCatenation member function for my Mystring class. I need it to ConCat Mystring s onto the tail end of another Mystring (stored in sval).

The error i get "Control reaches end of non void function"
sval stores the string values
slen stores the string length



Mystring Mystring :: ConCat(Mystring s){
for(int i= 0; s.sval[i] <= s.slen; i++){
sval[slen + 1] = s.sval[i];
}

}

Your ConCat method is missing a return statement. The return type appears to be Mystring.
Your function is supposed to return a Mystring. Probably you want to add return *this;
