C# has a syntax feature where you can concatenate many data types together on 1 line.
string s = new String();
s += "Hello world, " + myInt + niceToSeeYouString;
s += someChar1 + interestingDecimal + someChar2;
string s;
s += "Hello world, " + "nice to see you, " + "or not.";
#include <sstream>
#include <string>
std::stringstream ss;
ss << "Hello, world, " << myInt << niceToSeeYouString;
std::string s = ss.str();
