Problems including string-class

The string class lives in namespace std. To use it either declare your string like:
std::string myString
or use a using directive in your source code like:
using namespace std; or using std::string;

In addition, the necessary include line is:
#include <string>

Thanks guys

Still got a problem, unfortunately:

Is there any reason why this simple sample code should not work?
---------------------------------------
#include <iostream.h>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

void main(){

string word;

cout << "Enter word: ";

cin >> word;

cout << word;
}
----------------------------------------

I get the following 2 error-messages:

1) error C2679: binary ''>>'' : no operator defined which takes a right-hand operand of type ''class std::basic_string,class std::allocator >'' (or there is no acceptable conversion)

2) error C2679: binary ''<<'' : no operator defined which takes a right-hand operand of type ''class std::basic_string,class std::allocator
>'' (or there is no acceptable conversion)

Use this:

#include <iostream> 

Notice there is no ".h".

Thanks

Btw, it seems that both iostream.h and iostream exists in the libraries.

How are they different (in general terms - .h vs non-.h files)?

iostream.h is a non-standard header that was used before the standard came around to the creation of <iostream>. It's only included for backwards compatibility. You should try to use the standardized versions of headers whenever possible (99.9% of the time) to improve the portability of your code.

Thanks again
