std::string

#include string.h
#include iostream

void main()
{
using namespace std;
string str;
cin >> str;
cout << str; // this prints your string back to you
system("pause");
}

I tried that before asking this question. It doesn't work.

d:\test std string\main.cpp(8) : 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 accept
able conversion)
d:\test std string\main.cpp(9) : 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 accept

#include <iostream> #include <string> //it is string, not string.h using namespace std; int main(void) { string str; cout<<"Enter a string : "; cin>>str; cout<<"Content of string is : " <<str <<endl; return 0; }

That should work. I don''t have a compiler with me at the moment to verify it though.
