The return type is a string. Thank you for the help and I found a way to
do
it, I used this line instead
return cl + Convert::ToString(otherIntegerVariable);
and that seems to be working fine for my purposes, thank you again for
your
help

Hello, I am currently in the process of learning c++ and have been
running into issues with strings. What I am attempting to do is
rather simple: Switch(IntegerVariable){

switch(IntegerVariable){ // C++ is case-sensitive

     case 0:
         return "cl" + otherIntegerVariable;
        break;
etc. etc. but the compiler keeps giving me a massive error message,
and does not seem to like me concatenating a string and an integer,
yet I have never ran into this problem before...any help is
appreciated

What you're trying to do is to _convert_ your integer variable into
another string and then concatenate them. Please show us how your
function (from which you're trying to 'return "cl"') is declared.

Most likely what you want to do is
   ...
      case 0: {
          std::ostringstream os;
          os << "cl" << otherIntegerVariable;
          return os.str();
      }

(and 'break' is really superfluous after a 'return').
