   C strings are still available in C++ if you need that, but I don't think   
   you do.

   The problem is this expression. "foo[1]" yields a char, "bar[2]", too.   
   Adding those two does not create a string, it just treats those two   
   chars as integers. This is different from e.g. Python, where these   
   expressions yield strings of size 1, but it's the same as in C.   
      
   What you can do is use one of the substr() member function overloads.   
   Another way is that you avoid the + operation on chars, and use two +=   
   operations on the string instead. You could also explicitly convert (at   
   least) one of the two chars to a string, which would then trigger a   
   different operator+ overload.   
      
      
   Good luck!
