Learn to respect the compiler as it knows a lot of coding and is most smarter than the person sitting in front of it ;-)

Solution 1

That's unlikely: assigning an integer to a string variable will give an error in every implementation of C++ I've used:

main.cpp:16:13: error: conversion from ‘int’ to non-scalar type ‘std::string’ {aka ‘std::__cxx11::basic_string’} requested
   16 | string s1 = -1;

And that prevents your revised code from generating an EXE file and therefore from running at all...
