convert string to Currency

How to convert string to currency type.

[Peter87]

Not sure what you mean by currency type.

[Aceix]

Do you mean adding a currency's symbol to a string?

eg:
if you have a string with "56.09" in it, then you make it "£56.09"?

Explain more about what you mean by that.

Aceix.

You may need to format the string.

std::string str1 = "56.09";
std::string str2 = "£" + str1;
std::cout << str2 << std::endl; // prints £56.09

if your compiler is sufficiently new, you can use std::put_money from <iomanip>
