}

Is there something that needs to be included?? is there a ToString() like there is in java???

Also is there string concatenation that you can add two strings together?? "Left Drive: " + driverController->GetY()

Your ToString() comment made my day.

If you want to write a float to a string you can use some of the following methods.

float my_float = 123.456f;
char line_buffer[22];
sprintf(line_buffer, "value: %.2f", my_float);

// or

#include <sstream>

float my_float = 123.456f;
std::stringstream ss("value: ");
ss.precision(2);
ss << my_float;
std::string line_buffer = ss.str();
