Re: [Dev-C++] use of `count' is ambiguous

[Markku P. <mar...@ko...>]

It seems that 'count' is all ready defined inside template in stl_algo.h

E:/Dev-Cpp/include/c++/3.3.1/bits/stl_algo.h:390: error:   also declared =
as `
   typename std::iterator_traits<_Iterator>::difference_type
   std::count(_InputIter, _InputIter, const _Tp&)' here

So... you can't use 'count' as global variable (rename 'count')
or
you can't use 'using namespace std;' (replace cout to std::cout)
