In c++ you have libraries like <iostream> old name was <iostream.h> and 
in C++ 98 standard was renamed.
on the other hand stdlib.h is not a c++ standard library is a C standard 
so his name remains the same because C standard has .h names
In other words :
    iostream is a C++ stadard library
    stdlib.h is a C standard library
becarefull at string
    <string> contains class string
    <string.h> contains C like functions for manipulating strings
My sugestions:
    1:Use only one set of libreries like either from C++ or from C never 
mixed up especialy when you use pointers.
    2:Take a look at a C++ standard and the diff betwen C and C++
