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

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;
