Question

I have a multimap declared as:

typedef multimap <int, std::string> MM;

I was having trouble doing it how I normally do with no luck so used this method I found online:

std::string IntToStr( int n )
  {
  std::stringstream  result;
  result << n;
  return result.str();
  }

Then I call it passing it the int value of my multi map:

std::string stringNumber = IntToStr((*i).first);

What I get back is a bit of memory location I think, and the int converted tagged onto the end of this like:

64D20D6017

Where 17 is the score. What am I doing wrong? All I wanted to do was convert the results into a string to be used later.

Just incase anyone ever gets a similar output, this was due to accidentally adding 2 cout to the line:

cout << variable1 << cout << variable2;
