Well in java with a string you can do this:
int stuff;
string otherstuff;
otherstuff = "I like this much stuff: " + stuff;
But in C++ I have no idea how to.

In C++11:
otherstuff = "I like this much stuff: " + std::to_string(stuff);
Historically (and still sometimes useful in C++11):
std::ostringstream ss;
ss << "I like this much stuff: " << stuff;
otherstuff = ss.str();

Could you help me with this now? When do this: Paint::time = std::to_string(x) + "." + std::to_string(x) + " Hours"; I get numbers like: 12513.13513.4362784.1351253.1235123 hours etc.

@MackenzieGoodwin: If you could write a small example program to demonstrate the problem, and post it in a new question, I'm sure someone could help.
I like using stringstream for things like this.
std::stringstream ss;
double dub = 3.14159254;
ss << dub;
std::string s = ss.str();

Also worth noting boost::lexical_cast<std::string>(stuff). If for some reason you can't use C++11
std::to_string. Check out related questions.
