Making a list
Author
I have a sample that lets me make a list of bank names. It just every time I add this to the top of my code I get 2 errors
list<string> banks;
1) savings.cpp(11) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '<'
2) savings.cpp(11) : error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int
The sample I got was from the C++ for dummies. Can any one tell me why this isn't working.
Heres some of my code.
it needs to be "std::list" instead of "list".
Alternatively, you could add "using namespace std;" after all of your #include statements.

Then let me ask you. I have a guy from your forums section thats helping me to under stand C++, and he told me that using "using namespace std;" on larger programs is not a good idea.
he said I'm better off using
std:: as its needed
It may be a bad idea to use using namespace std; in a header, because the person using the header may not be aware that you're doing it. So use std:: in headers, but there is really nothing stopping you from using it in source files.
