Subject: RE : [c-prog] what's wrong with the code

I tried  "using namespace std;" it still gives me error.
I tried:  string p(1,ch);  But it does not serve the purpose of the 
code,  Basically, I want to enter one character at the back of the string 
at one time.
Lastly, it simply does not compile:  below is the same code, I produce 
again, with the type of compile time error it gives.  The details about the 
errors are in the comments of the code just below the line which is 
responsible for the error.  I need two things.  Explanation and alternative.


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


int main()
{
   char ch = 'z';
   string p = ch;
   /* for the above line the following is the error it gives me :
  conversion from `char' to non-scalar type 
`basic_string<char,string_char_traits<char>,__default_alloc_template<false,0>  
 >' requested
  */
   p.push_back(ch);
  /* for the above line the following is the error it gives me :
  no matching function for call to 
`basic_string<char,string_char_traits<char>,__default_alloc_template<false,0>  
 >::push_back (char &)'
*/
       system("PAUSE");
       return 0;
}
