How to get the value of const string& in C++
<p>I have a function that takes <strong>const string&amp; value</strong> as argument.
I am trying to get the value of this string so that I can manipulate it in the function. So I want to store the value into a <strong>string returnVal</strong> but this does not work:</p>

<p><code>string returnVal = *value</code></p>
