   Question about strings
  Ok, I made a program that used a string in it. I compiled it and it had errors. But once I put in using namespace std; in the code, it compiled without errors. So my question to you is "Do you need to have using namespace std in your code to use strings?".   There''s no town drunk here, we all take turns.Velocity Gaming Force
  Yes, or use std::string.Edit: don't use <comment> on your site, use <!-- and -->   [edited by - EL on August 7, 2003 4:50:12 PM];  Or use "using std::string;"This, or importing the entire std namespace makes sure that "string" actually maps to "std::string".If you don''t do that, the compiler won''t know what "string" is and you have to explicitly tell it you mean "std::string".   ;  Ok, thanks a lot both of you.
