imports <string.h> giving errors.

Hi ppl.. below is just some test code I found to see if string works on my system. The error I get is: error C2065: 'string' : undeclared identifier

It is includes, what could be wrong?

#include <iostream.h>
#include <string>

void main()
{
string stringA = &quot;Nutcracker&quot;,
stringB = &quot;Sleeping Beauty&quot;,
stringC = &quot;Swan Lake&quot;;
}

you have two choices:
1. Add using namespace std; before main()
2. change the type string to std::string

It is a namespace issue.

error C2871: 'std' : does not exist or is not a namespace

thats the error i get when I type in

using namespace std; //before main()

This code compiled for me - are you sure you got it right?

Also, you should use <iostream> not <iostream.h>


#include <iostream.h>
#include <string>


using namespace std;

void main()
{
string stringA = &quot;Nutcracker&quot;,
stringB = &quot;Sleeping Beauty&quot;,
stringC = &quot;Swan Lake&quot;;
}
