[Dev-C++] C++ strings in header files

From: Dane E. <dg...@wo...> - 2005-09-07 03:41:58

Hi all,

I want to place 2 string members in my class .h file. Currently I  
have put '#include <string>' at the top and as a private member
I put:

string firstName;

When I try to compile I get this error: 'string' does not name a type.

Please can someone show me how to do this properly?

Best regards,

Dane

Hi Dane,
 
Could be that you haven't included "using namespace std;" above your include.

Hi.

you should use std::string instead for just string, or declarate 
"using std::string".
if you use the second one then you will be able to use only string.


using "using namespace std" is not to be recommended because it can 
cause a lot of problems in bigger programs.

it should look like this:

#include <string>
using std::string

string firstName;

Hi Dane,
Probably you might have not included=20
using namespace std;=20
in starting of your project after including the header files.
I tried and it worked for me.
