I have realised my mistake. I was trying to concatenate two strings.

I have just started to learn C++. I have a problem about string concatenation. I don't have problem when I use:

cout << "Your name is"<<name;

But when I try to do it with a string:

string nametext;
nametext = "Your name is" << name;
cout << nametext;

I got an error. How can I concatenate two strings?

For string concatenation in C++, you should use the + operator. 

nametext = "Your name is" + name;
