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

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".

There is also an #include <string> header file too.

You can put:

using std::string;

at the top also, then you won''t kill the namespace, but you can use string as normal :-)

That looks pretty funny.

Chess is played by three people. Two people play the game; the third provides moral support for the pawns. The object of the game is to kill your opponent by flinging captured pieces at his head. Since the only piece that can be killed is a pawn, the two armies agree to meet in a pawn-infested area (or even a pawn shop) and kill as many pawns as possible in the crossfire. If the game goes on for an hour, one player may legally attempt to gouge out the other player's eyes with his King.
