#include <string>std::string a="hello";Note that very few people would recommend using VS6 these days. Visual Studio 2008 Express is free and has a more standards-compliant compiler.
I doubt that VS6 is the root of this problem though.
Does Standard C++ count?

Still not getting it.
Following error comes:-
Compiling...

C:\DX1\DX1.cpp(11) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'a'
C:\DX1\DX1.cpp(11) : error C2501: 'String' : missing storage-class or type specifiers
C:\DX1\DX1.cpp(11) : fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found
Error executing cl.exe.
DX1.exe - 3 error(s), 0 warning(s)
I included the following:-
#include <string.h>
string a="hello";

Look closely at EasilyConfused example:
* It's <string>, not <string.h>
* It's std::string, not string
Both are because string is part of STL, the standard template library. STL headers (the files you #include) have no .h ending and the types in STL are declared in the std namespace.

Look at the EasilyConfused post. You didnt specify the namespace (std) and you included string.h which is the header for C strings, you must include string which is the header for C++ std::strings. You must choose one of the following:
1.
#include <string>using namespace std;int main(){ string a = "hello";}2.
#include <string>int main(){ std::string a = "hello";}Quote:Original post by sas1992

If you directly copy and pasted the error, than from the looks of it you are using 'String' with a capital 'S' and not 'string' with a lower-case 's'. C++ is case-sensitive. And of course, like others said, make sure you are using namespace 'std' and make sure to include the header file like '#include "string"' (no '.h').
